Commentary

CFO Brian Olsavsky said Amazon expects to spend $300 million in the second quarter to develop the capability to test staff for the coronavirus and around $1 billion for the full year if the initial effort is successful.

“We’ve placed purchase orders for millions of face masks we want to give to our employees and contractors who cannot work from home, but very few of those orders have been filled,”
View

"We want to make every book available -- the good, the bad and the ugly." Customers' reviews, he said, would "let truth loose."
View

“The only way that I can see to deploy this much financial resource is by converting my Amazon winnings into space travel,”

“The price of admission to space is very high,” “I’m in the process of converting my Amazon lottery winnings into a much lower price of admission so we can go explore the Solar System.”
View

“Prime membership continues to get better for customers year after year. And customers are responding — more people joined Prime this quarter than ever before, and we now have over 150 million paid Prime members around the world,”
View

“We’ve made Prime delivery faster-the number of items delivered to U.S. customers with Prime’s free one-day and same-day delivery more than quadrupled this quarter compared to last year. Members now have free two-hour grocery delivery from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market in more than 2,000 U.S. cities and towns. Prime members watched double the hours of original movies and TV shows on Prime Video this quarter compared to last year, and Amazon Originals received a record 88 nominations and 26 wins at major awards shows. A huge thank you to teams across Amazon for their dedicated work to build, innovate, and deliver for customers this holiday.”
View

“Proud of the program we have in India to hire and train deaf associates at our delivery stations. Managers learn basic sign language to be able to communicate. Meeting this group was a moving experience for me,"
View

“I’m excited to share that we will invest an incremental $1 billion to digitize micro and small businesses in cities, towns, and villages across India, helping them reach more customers than ever before. As part of this initiative, we will use Amazon’s global footprint to enable $10 billion in exports of Indian products, to the rest of the world by 2025. Our investments will create an additional million jobs across the country by 2025."
View

“The world's oldest and largest democracy,” "I want to make a prediction for you - the 21st century is going to be the Indian century," “I had this idea and I knew that if I don’t try I would regret it. Last 25 years, what happened is beyond my expectation.”
View

"I'll make one more prediction for you, in this 21st century the most important alliance is going to be the alliance between India and the United States. The world's oldest democracy and the world's largest democracy,"
View

"Amazon.com Inc will invest $1 billion in digitizing small- and medium-businesses in India and expects to export $10 billion worth of India-made goods by 2025"
View

“When a large company like Amazon with 700,000 employees and a big global footprint does something like the climate pledge, it really can be a needle mover,” Bezos said on Wednesday. “Because it’s not just Amazon, it’s our supply chain. For us to meet that pledge, they have to meet that pledge.”
View

“Our hearts go out to all Australians as they cope with these devastating bushfires,” “Amazon is donating 1 million AU dollars in needed provisions and services.”
View

“This holiday season has been better than ever thanks to our customers and employees all around the world,” “On behalf of all Amazonians, we wish everyone the happiest of holidays and a fantastic 2020.”
View

“We are going to support the Department of Defense, this country is important,”
View

"Regulatory stability is the thing that we would always hope for India. Whatever the regulations are ... they are stable in time and that's one of the things we're hoping will now be true. We'll see,"
View

“We had gone public on a split-adjusted basis, $1.50 a share in today’s terms, and the market became very quickly an internet bubble kind of market,”
View

“We are ramping up to make our 25th holiday season the best ever for Prime customers — with millions of products available for free one-day delivery,”
View

“Our public policy team is actually working on facial recognition regulations; it makes a lot of sense to regulate that,”
View

“Multiple simultaneous wake words provide the best option for customers,” “Utterance by utterance, customers can choose which voice service will best support a particular interaction. It’s exciting to see these companies come together in pursuit of that vision.”
View

"The climate science community is surprised by how quickly things are changing," "We've been in the middle of the herd on this issue and we want to move to the forefront."
View

“We’re done being in the middle of the herd on this issue—we’ve decided to use our size and scale to make a difference,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. “If a company with as much physical infrastructure as Amazon—which delivers more than 10 billion items a year—can meet the Paris Agreement 10 years early, then any company can. I’ve been talking with other CEOs of global companies, and I’m finding a lot of interest in joining the pledge. Large companies signing The Climate Pledge will send an important signal to the market that it’s time to invest in the products and services the signatories will need to meet their commitments.”
View

“Amazon has created more than 300,000 new jobs in the U.S. over the last decade – and we’re proud to continue investing and creating opportunities for people across the country,” “These are jobs with highly competitive compensation and full-benefits from day one, as well as training opportunities to gain new skills in high-demand fields such as robotics and machine learning.”
View

“The past year’s success is the product of a talented, smart, hard-working group, and I take great pride in being a part of this team. Setting the bar high in our approach to hiring has been, and will continue to be, the single most important element of Amazon.com’s success,
View

“We will continue to make investment decisions in light of long-term market leadership considerations rather than short-term profitability considerations or short-term Wall Street reactions,” “if we do our jobs right, today’s customers will buy more tomorrow.” “Take a long-term view, and the interests of customers and shareholders align.”
View

“Customers are responding to Prime’s move to one-day delivery — we’ve received a lot of positive feedback and seen accelerating sales growth,” “Free one-day delivery is now available to Prime members on more than ten million items, and we’re just getting started. A big thank you to the team for continuing to make life easier for customers.”
View

We want to thank Prime members all around the world,” "Members purchased millions of Alexa-enabled devices, received tens of millions of dollars in savings by shopping from Whole Foods Market and bought more than $2 billion of products from independent small and medium-sized businesses. Huge thank you to Amazonians everywhere who made this day possible for customers.”
View

“People are going to want to live on Earth, and they are going to want to live off Earth. There are going to be very nice places to live off earth as well. People will make that choice,”
View

The postal service gave Amazon a huge helping hand from the outset as the firm did not have to invest in a delivery network. "I didn't have to build a transportation network to deliver the packages,"
View

"Amazon is fast working on its lander called Blue Moon to reach the lunar surface by 2024"
View

That was one of the main reasons why Amazon led the $700 million investment in electric vehicle start-up Rivian in February, Bezos said. “If you think about the auto industry right now, there’s so many things going on with Uber-ization, electrification, the connected car — so it’s a fascinating industry,”
View

Amazon will be experimenting at the right scale for a company of our size if we occasionally have multibillion-dollar failures. "If the size of your failures isn't growing, you're not going to be inventing at a size that can actually move the needle, "While the Fire phone was a failure, we were able to take our learnings (as well as the developers) and accelerate our efforts building Echo and Alexa,"
View

“Alexa was very busy during her holiday season. Echo Dot was the best-selling item across all products on Amazon globally, and customers purchased millions more devices from the Echo family compared to last year,” “The number of research scientists working on Alexa has more than doubled in the past year, and the results of the team’s hard work are clear. In 2018, we improved Alexa’s ability to understand requests and answer questions by more than 20% through advances in machine learning, we added billions of facts making Alexa more knowledgeable than ever, developers doubled the number of Alexa skills to over 80,000, and customers spoke to Alexa tens of billions more times in 2018 compared to 2017. We’re energized by and grateful for the response, and you can count on us to keep working hard to bring even more invention to customers.”
View

“We are excited to build new headquarters in New York City and Northern Virginia,” These two locations will allow us to attract world-class talent that will help us to continue inventing for customers for years to come. The team did a great job selecting these sites, and we look forward to becoming an even bigger part of these communities.”
View

“Amazon Business has now reached a $10 billion annual sales run rate and is serving millions of private and public-sector organizations in eight countries,” “And we’re not slowing down – Amazon Business is adding customers rapidly, including large educational institutions, local governments, and more than half of the Fortune 100. These organizations are choosing Amazon Business because it increases transparency into business spending and streamlines purchasing, with increased control. The team is doing a fantastic job building and innovating for customers.”
View

“We want customers to be able to use Alexa wherever they are,” “There are now tens of thousands of developers across more than 150 countries building new devices using the Alexa Voice Service, and the number of Alexa-enabled devices has more than tripled in the past year. Our partners are creating a wide variety of new Alexa-enabled devices and experiences, including soundbars from Polk and Sonos; headphones from Jabra; smart home devices from ecobee and First Alert; Windows 10 PCs from Acer, HP, and Lenovo; and cars from automakers including BMW, Ford, and Toyota.”
View

“AWS had the unusual advantage of a seven-year head start before facing like-minded competition, and the team has never slowed down,” “As a result, the AWS services are by far the most evolved and most functionality-rich. AWS lets developers do more and be nimbler, and it continues to get even better every day. That’s why you’re seeing this remarkable acceleration in AWS growth, now for two quarters in a row. A huge thank you to all our AWS customers, and you can be sure we’ll keep working hard for you.”
View

“Amazon and Best Buy have a long history of working together, and today we take our partnership to a new level,” “These Fire Edition smart TVs by Insignia and Toshiba deliver beautiful visuals and all the movies and TV shows you love, with an experience that gets better every day with Alexa. We could not have a better partner in this endeavor.”
View

“Our 2017 projections for Alexa were very optimistic, and we far exceeded them. We don’t see positive surprises of this magnitude very often — expect us to double down,” “We’ve reached an important point where other companies and developers are accelerating adoption of Alexa. There are now over 30,000 skills from outside developers, customers can control more than 4,000 smart home devices from 1,200 unique brands with Alexa, and we’re seeing strong response to our new far-field voice kit for manufacturers. Much more to come and a huge thank you to our customers and partners.”
View

“We expect HQ2 to be a full equal to our Seattle headquarters,” “Amazon HQ2 will bring billions of dollars in up-front and ongoing investments, and tens of thousands of high-paying jobs. We’re excited to find a second home.”
View

“The world is big and so multifaceted. There are going to be multiple successful intelligent agents, each with access to different sets of data and with different specialized skill areas. Together, their strengths will complement each other and provide customers with a richer and even more helpful experience,” “It’s great for Echo owners to get easy access to Cortana.”
