Data: New Microsoft Diagram (Sep 2024 Results)

I’ve added diagrams for Microsoft’s recent quarterly results.

Here is the most recent quarter vs. the same one a year before (using the same scale):

A Sankey diagram summarizing Microsoft's financial results for the quarter ending on 9/30/2024. The main node shows Microsoft's total quarterly Revenue, which was just over $65.5 billion. On the input side, that total is divided into Products and 'Service and other'. The Service revenue ($50.3 billion) was slightly over 3x the Product revenue ($15.2 billion). On the output side, the total Revenue is broken up to show what portion is 'Cost of Revenue' ($20.1 billion) vs Margin ($45.4 billion). More expenses are then subtracted until the bottom line is reached at the diagram's end: Microsoft's Net Income for the quarter was $24.6 billion.

On the input side, that total is divided into Products and 'Service and other'. The Service revenue ($41 billion) was greater than the Product revenue ($15.5 billion). On the output side, the total Revenue is broken up to show what portion is 'Cost of Revenue' ($16.3 billion) vs Margin ($40.2 billion). More expenses are then subtracted until the bottom line is reached at the diagram's end: Microsoft's Net Income for the quarter was $22.2 billion.

The pictures are quite consistent except for the $10M increase in Service revenue and the corresponding increase in costs.

One other note: the buttons I mentioned below which said “use this one as a starting point” are now updated to say “Edit with SankeyMATIC“, like so:

They do the same thing as before, but I think this design gets the point across better – more like the ubiquitous Edit on CodePen buttons you see on web tutorial examples.
