Microsoft Corporation today announced upcoming changes in its financial reporting structure reflecting completion of previously announced organizational changes. Beginning in fiscal year 2007, the company will report its financial performance based on five operating segments: Client, Server and Tools, Online Services Group, Microsoft Business Division, and Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division.
Today’s news further aligns the company around three operating divisions – Microsoft Platforms and Services Division, Microsoft Business Division, and Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division – previously created to achieve greater agility in managing future growth and execute on Microsoft’s software-based services strategy.
The company will announce financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter on July 20, 2006 for the seven business segments under which the company operated in fiscal year 2006, and will provide fiscal year 2007 guidance under the new operating segment structure.
