Amazon Q3/09
Last week, Amazon announced its results for Q3 2009. Amazon's worldwide sales increased by 28% from $4.26bn in Q3 08 to $5.45bn in Q3 09. Amazon's international sales - that's revenues from its British, French, German, Chinese and Japanese sites - increased by 33% [although with an adjustment for adverse currency movements, that would be a 35% increase] to £2.61bn. And worldwide sales of electronics [and other general merchandise - Amazon's product segmentation means that it does not report publicly on technology sales on their own] increased by 44% to $2.93bn.
