It posted strong growth in each of three segments \u2013 North America (11%), International (10%), and Amazon<fbs-ticker data-name=\"AMZN\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/amazon\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  AMZN<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker> web services (12%). On the cost front, the operating expenses as a % of revenues decreased from around 97% to 94%. Further, the other income jumped from -$5.55 billion to $61 million in the quarter. Notably the other income mainly benefited from a pre-tax valuation gain from the common stock investment in Rivian Automotive. Overall, the net income improved from -$2.03 billion to $6.75 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s top line grew 10% y-o-y to $261.74 billion in the first half of FY2023. It was driven by an 11% increase in North America, a 5% rise in the International unit, and a 14% jump in the Amazon web services division. Further, the profitability numbers improved in the first half of 2023 due to lower operating expenses as a % of revenues and a significant drop in the total non-operating expense from $14.9 billion to $773 million. Altogether, the firm reported a net income of $9.92 billion vs. a net loss of $5.87 billion in the year-ago period.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, AMZN expects the revenues to remain between $138 billion to $143 billion in Q3 2023.
