Item 8.01.	Other Events

Microsoft Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast certain previously reported amounts to conform with segment reporting changes made to align our segments with how we manage our business, with respect to the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”).

In August 2024, we announced changes to the composition of our segments, most notably bringing the commercial components of Microsoft 365 together in the Productivity and Business Processes segment. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the information that our chief operating decision maker is regularly provided and reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance reflects these segment changes. We provided a brief description of the segment changes in a Form 8-K filed on August 21, 2024.

The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that when a registrant prepares, on or after the date a registrant reports an accounting change such as the segment changes noted above, a new registration, proxy, or information statement (or amends a previously filed registration, proxy, or information statement) that includes or incorporates by reference financial statements, the registrant must recast the prior period financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the registration, proxy, or information statement to reflect these types of changes. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Form 8-K to recast our consolidated financial statements for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, to reflect the changes in segment reporting as described above. The updates do not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The recast information of Items contained in the 2024 Form 10-K is presented in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The information included in this Form 8-K is presented for informational purposes only in connection with the segment reporting changes described above and does not amend or restate our audited consolidated financial statements, which were included in our 2024 Form 10-K. This Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after we filed our 2024 Form 10-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way, other than to illustrate the impact of the segment changes as described above. For developments subsequent to the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K, refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
