In its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results, Microsoft quantifies Azure for the first time: more than $75 billion for the year, up 34%. Azure and other cloud services grow 39% in the quarter.

### Background On 30 July 2025, Microsoft publishes its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter results (ended 30 June). For the first time, the group gives Azure's annual revenue: more than $75 billion, up 34%. Until then, Azure had been included in broader aggregates. Satya Nadella, chairman and chief executive, says the growth is driven by "all workloads". ### Key facts - Azure: more than $75 billion of revenue for the fiscal year, up 34%. - Azure and other cloud services: +39% in the quarter. - Microsoft Cloud: $46.7 billion in the quarter, up 27%. - Group: quarterly revenue of $76.4 billion (+18%), operating income of $34.3 billion (+23%). - Nadella describes cloud and AI as the driving force of business transformation across industries. - Group net income: $27.2 billion (+24%). - Microsoft's fiscal year ended on 30 June 2025; the Azure figures cover those twelve months. ### Why it matters Until now, Azure's real weight had to be estimated from aggregates or market studies. The published figure allows a direct comparison of Azure with AWS and Google Cloud. For CIOs, it confirms that Microsoft is a first-rank infrastructure player, not only an applications and licensing vendor. It also weighs in negotiations of multi-year cloud contracts. Over the year, this amounts to more than $18 billion per quarter on average for Azure alone. For an IT services firm, it is a benchmark for sizing Azure's relative weight in trade-offs between hyperscalers. ### Takeaway Azure exceeds $75 billion a year: Microsoft makes the size of its infrastructure cloud public.
