All other costs We incur software development costs related to products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, internal use including those related to design or maintenance, are expensed as incurred Property and Equipment, Nel Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, Incentives that we receive from along with property we have acquired under build-to-suit lease arrangements when we have control over the building during the property and equipment vendors are recorded as a reduction to our costs. Property includes buildings and land that we own, beavy equipment and other fulfillment equipment. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally the lesser of 40 years or the remaining life of the underlying building, three years Years for heavy equipment, and three to ten years for other Fulfillment equipment). Depreciation and amortization expense is peace for anuary 1, 2020 and four years subsequent to January 1, 2020 for our servers, five years for networking equipment, ten classified within the corresponding operating expense categories on our consolidated statements of operations Leases prices. We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance cases are generally those lenses that allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in Property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. Our leuses generally have terms that range from one to ten years for equipment and one to twenty years for property. Certain lease contracts include obligations to pay for other services, such as operations and maintenance. For leases of accounted for separately and we allocate payments to the lease and other services components based on estimated stand-alone property, we account for these other services as a component of the lease. For substantially all other leases, the services are Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments reclassified from "Other assets upon lease commencement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term. When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider the option in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Our leases may include variable payments based on measures that include changes in price indices, market interest rates, or the level of sales at a physical store, which are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. Finance lease assets are amortized within operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the instance where title does not transfer at the end of the lease term, the lease term. The interest component of a finance lease is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term We establish assets and liabilities for the present value of estimated future costs to retire long-lived assets at the termination or expiration of a lease. Such assets are amortired over the lease period into operating expense, and the recorded liabilities are accreted to the future value of the estimated retirement costs. Financing Oligations We record assets and liabilities for estimated construction costs under build-to-suit lease arrangements when we have control over the building during the construction period. If we continue to control the building after the construction period, the arrangement is classified as a financing obligation instead of a lease. The building is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life or the term of the obligation If we do not control the building after the construction period ends, the assets and liabilities for construction costs are derecognized, and we classify the lease as either operating or finance. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets We evaluate goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently when an event cursor circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable We may clect to be a qualitative sessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible et indefinite-lived intangible asset to its estimated fair value and if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying valac less than its carrying value and if so, we perform a quantitative test. We compare the carrying value of each reporting unit and se recognize an impairment loss for the difference Wc estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash pows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily to expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions We completed the required annual impairment test of goodwill for all reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of April 1, 2020, resulting in no impairments. The fair value of our reporting units substantially exceeded their Goodwill, and Acquired Intangible Assets." carrying value. There were no events that caused us to update our annual impairment test. See Note 5 Acquisitions Other Assets Included in Other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets are amounts primarily related to video and music content net of accumulated amortization, acquired intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, certain equity investments, equity wartant assets, long-term deferred tax assets, and lease prepayments made prior to lease commencement Digital Video and Music Content We obtain video content, inclusive of episodic television and movies, and music content for customers through licensing agreements that have a wide range of licensing provisions including both fixed and variable payment schedules. When the license fee for a specific video or music title is determinable or reasonably estimable and the content is available 10 ws. We recognize an asset and a corresponding linbility for the amounts owed. We reduce the liability as payments are made and we amortize the asset to "Cost of sales" on an accelerated basis, based on estimated usage or viewing patterns, or on a straight-line basis . If the licensing fee is not determinable or reasonably estimable, no asset or liability is recorded and licensing costs are expensed as incurred. We also develop original video content for which the production costs are capitalized and amortized to Cost of sales" predominantly on an accelerated basis that follows the viewing patterns associated with the content. The weighted average remaining life of our capitalized video content is 2.5 years. Our produced and licensed video content is primarily monetized together as a unit, referred to as a film group, in cach major geography where we offer Amazon Prime memberships. These film groups are evaluated for impaiment whenever an event occurs or circumstances change indicating the fair value is less than the carrying value. The total capitalized costs of video, which is primarily released content, and music as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 were $5.8 billion and $6.8 billion Total video and music expense was $7.8 billion and S110 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. Total video and music expense includes licensing and production costs associated with content offered within Amazon Prime memberships, and costs associated with digital subscriptions and sold or rented content Investments We generally invest our excess cash in AAA-rated money market funds and investment grade short-to intermediate-term fixed income securities. Such investments are included in Cash and cash equivalents" or "Marketable securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets Marketable debt securities are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." Each reporting period, we evaluate whether declines in fait value below carrying value are due to expected credit losses, as well as our ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance through "Other income (expense), met" on our consolidated statements of operations, Equity investments in private companies for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost, with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments, and arc classified as "Other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets with adjustments recognized in "Other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations. Each reporting period, we perform a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales'acquisitions of the investee securities, and other publicly available data. If the investment is impaired, we write it down to its estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, these investments had a carrying value of S1.5 billion and $2.7 billion. exercise significant influence, but not control over ante.

Accrued Expenses and Other Included in "Accrued expenses and other on our consolidated balance sheets are liabilities primarily related to leases and asset retirement obligations, payroll and related expenses, tax-related liabilities, unredeemed gift cards, customer liabilities, current debt, acquired digital media content, and other operating expenses As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, our liabilities for payroll related expenses were 54.3 billion and $7.6 billion and our liabilities for unredeemed gift cards were $3.3 billion and $47 billion. We reduce the liability for a gift card when redeemed by a customer. The portion of gift cards that we do not expect to be redeemed is recognized based on customer usage patterns Unearned Revenue Uncamed revenue is recorded when payments are received or due in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the service period. Uneamed revenue primarily relates to prepayments of AWS services and Amazon Prime memberships. Our total unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019 was 5102 billion, of which $79 billion was recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020 and our total uncanned revenue as of December 31, 2020 was $11.6 billion Included in "Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets was $20 billion and S1.9 billion of uncamed revenue as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.

For contracts with original terms that exceed one year, those commitments not yet recognized were $500 billion as of December 31, 2020. The weighted average remaining life of our long-term contracts is 3.4 years. However, the amount and timing of revenue recognition is largely driven by customer usage, which can extend beyond the original contractual term Other Long-Term Liabilities Included in "Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets are liabilities primarily related to financing obligations, asset retirement obligations, deferred tax liabilities, uneamed revenue, tax contingencies, and digital video and music content Foreign Currency We have internationally focused stores for which the net sales generated, as well as most of the related expenses directly incurred from those operations, are denominated in local functional currencies. The functional currency of our subsidiaries that cither operate or support these stores is generally the same as the local currency.

All other costs We incur software development costs related to products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, internal use including those related to design or maintenance, are expensed as incurred Property and Equipment, Nel Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, Incentives that we receive from along with property we have acquired under build-to-suit lease arrangements when we have control over the building during the property and equipment vendors are recorded as a reduction to our costs. Property includes buildings and land that we own, beavy equipment and other fulfillment equipment. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally the lesser of 40 years or the remaining life of the underlying building, three years Years for heavy equipment, and three to ten years for other Fulfillment equipment). Depreciation and amortization expense is peace for anuary 1, 2020 and four years subsequent to January 1, 2020 for our servers, five years for networking equipment, ten classified within the corresponding operating expense categories on our consolidated statements of operations Leases prices. We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance cases are generally those lenses that allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in Property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. Our leuses generally have terms that range from one to ten years for equipment and one to twenty years for property. Certain lease contracts include obligations to pay for other services, such as operations and maintenance. For leases of accounted for separately and we allocate payments to the lease and other services components based on estimated stand-alone property, we account for these other services as a component of the lease. For substantially all other leases, the services are Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments reclassified from "Other assets upon lease commencement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term. When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider the option in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Our leases may include variable payments based on measures that include changes in price indices, market interest rates, or the level of sales at a physical store, which are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. Finance lease assets are amortized within operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the instance where title does not transfer at the end of the lease term, the lease term. The interest component of a finance lease is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term We establish assets and liabilities for the present value of estimated future costs to retire long-lived assets at the termination or expiration of a lease. Such assets are amortired over the lease period into operating expense, and the recorded liabilities are accreted to the future value of the estimated retirement costs. Financing Oligations We record assets and liabilities for estimated construction costs under build-to-suit lease arrangements when we have control over the building during the construction period. If we continue to control the building after the construction period, the arrangement is classified as a financing obligation instead of a lease. The building is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life or the term of the obligation If we do not control the building after the construction period ends, the assets and liabilities for construction costs are derecognized, and we classify the lease as either operating or finance. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets We evaluate goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently when an event cursor circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable We may clect to be a qualitative sessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible et indefinite-lived intangible asset to its estimated fair value and if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying valac less than its carrying value and if so, we perform a quantitative test. We compare the carrying value of each reporting unit and se recognize an impairment loss for the difference Wc estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash pows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily to expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions We completed the required annual impairment test of goodwill for all reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of April 1, 2020, resulting in no impairments. The fair value of our reporting units substantially exceeded their Goodwill, and Acquired Intangible Assets." carrying value. There were no events that caused us to update our annual impairment test. See Note 5 Acquisitions Other Assets Included in Other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets are amounts primarily related to video and music content net of accumulated amortization, acquired intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, certain equity investments, equity wartant assets, long-term deferred tax assets, and lease prepayments made prior to lease commencement Digital Video and Music Content We obtain video content, inclusive of episodic television and movies, and music content for customers through licensing agreements that have a wide range of licensing provisions including both fixed and variable payment schedules. When the license fee for a specific video or music title is determinable or reasonably estimable and the content is available 10 ws. We recognize an asset and a corresponding linbility for the amounts owed. We reduce the liability as payments are made and we amortize the asset to "Cost of sales" on an accelerated basis, based on estimated usage or viewing patterns, or on a straight-line basis . If the licensing fee is not determinable or reasonably estimable, no asset or liability is recorded and licensing costs are expensed as incurred. We also develop original video content for which the production costs are capitalized and amortized to Cost of sales" predominantly on an accelerated basis that follows the viewing patterns associated with the content. The weighted average remaining life of our capitalized video content is 2.5 years. Our produced and licensed video content is primarily monetized together as a unit, referred to as a film group, in cach major geography where we offer Amazon Prime memberships. These film groups are evaluated for impaiment whenever an event occurs or circumstances change indicating the fair value is less than the carrying value. The total capitalized costs of video, which is primarily released content, and music as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 were $5.8 billion and $6.8 billion Total video and music expense was $7.8 billion and S110 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. Total video and music expense includes licensing and production costs associated with content offered within Amazon Prime memberships, and costs associated with digital subscriptions and sold or rented content Investments We generally invest our excess cash in AAA-rated money market funds and investment grade short-to intermediate-term fixed income securities. Such investments are included in Cash and cash equivalents" or "Marketable securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets Marketable debt securities are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." Each reporting period, we evaluate whether declines in fait value below carrying value are due to expected credit losses, as well as our ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance through "Other income (expense), met" on our consolidated statements of operations, Equity investments in private companies for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost, with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments, and arc classified as "Other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets with adjustments recognized in "Other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations. Each reporting period, we perform a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales'acquisitions of the investee securities, and other publicly available data. If the investment is impaired, we write it down to its estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, these investments had a carrying value of S1.5 billion and $2.7 billion. exercise significant influence, but not control over ante.

Accrued Expenses and Other Included in "Accrued expenses and other on our consolidated balance sheets are liabilities primarily related to leases and asset retirement obligations, payroll and related expenses, tax-related liabilities, unredeemed gift cards, customer liabilities, current debt, acquired digital media content, and other operating expenses As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, our liabilities for payroll related expenses were 54.3 billion and $7.6 billion and our liabilities for unredeemed gift cards were $3.3 billion and $47 billion. We reduce the liability for a gift card when redeemed by a customer. The portion of gift cards that we do not expect to be redeemed is recognized based on customer usage patterns Unearned Revenue Uncamed revenue is recorded when payments are received or due in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the service period. Uneamed revenue primarily relates to prepayments of AWS services and Amazon Prime memberships. Our total unearned revenue as of December 31, 2019 was 5102 billion, of which $79 billion was recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020 and our total uncanned revenue as of December 31, 2020 was $11.6 billion Included in "Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets was $20 billion and S1.9 billion of uncamed revenue as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. Additionally, we have performance obligations, primarily related to AWS, associated with commitments in customer contracts for future services that have not yet been recognized in our financial statements. For contracts with original terms that exceed one year, those commitments not yet recognized were $500 billion as of December 31, 2020. The weighted average remaining life of our long-term contracts is 3.4 years. However, the amount and timing of revenue recognition is largely driven by customer usage, which can extend beyond the original contractual term Other Long-Term Liabilities Included in "Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets are liabilities primarily related to financing obligations, asset retirement obligations, deferred tax liabilities, uneamed revenue, tax contingencies, and digital video and music content Foreign Currency We have internationally focused stores for which the net sales generated, as well as most of the related expenses directly incurred from those operations, are denominated in local functional currencies.
