Segment Structure Overhaul
Beginning FY27, Microsoft will report under two segments — Agents and Infra, and Devices and Consumer — replacing the prior three-segment structure (Productivity and Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, More Personal Computing).
-
Restated Historical Financials
FY25 and FY26 results were restated under the new structure. FY26 Agents and Infra revenue was $268.1B with $136.4B operating income; Devices and Consumer revenue was $63.7B with $18.9B operating income.
-
Metric Definition Changes
Azure revenue growth now excludes GitHub cloud, Security Copilot, and Healthcare cloud (moved to Microsoft 365 cloud and Industry solutions cloud). Microsoft 365 commercial seat growth now includes paid GitHub seats. New Industry solutions cloud metric combines Dynamics 365, LinkedIn Talent/Sales Solutions, and Healthcare.
-
Adjusted FY27 Q1 Outlook
Mechanical adjustments only: Agents and Infra revenue of $75.15–$75.75B, Devices and Consumer revenue of $14.7–$15.2B. Azure growth now guided at 44–45% constant currency (vs. 45% prior). Total company outlook unchanged.
Analysis · MSFT · Technology
Starting in FY27, Microsoft is collapsing its three reporting segments into two: Agents and Infra, and Devices and Consumer. This is a material change for investors because it reshapes how Azure, Microsoft 365, LinkedIn, and advertising revenue are disclosed, and it comes with restated FY25/FY26 financials plus a mechanically adjusted FY27 Q1 outlook. The new structure gives Azure a purer consumption-based definition (GitHub cloud and Security Copilot move out), creates a new Industry solutions cloud metric combining Dynamics 365, LinkedIn Talent/Sales Solutions, and Healthcare, and folds LinkedIn Marketing Solutions into Search and advertising. For a company of Microsoft's scale, this is not a capital event but a transparency and modeling event — analysts must rebuild their models around the new segment definitions before Q1 earnings.
