MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - July 22, 2026 - Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

  • Consolidated Alphabet revenues increased 24%, or 23% in constant currency, to $119.8 billion, reflecting strong performance across the business and our 12th consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth.

  • Google Services revenues increased 15% to $94.5 billion, led by 17% growth in Google Search & other, 15% in Google subscriptions, platforms, and devices, and 13% in YouTube ads.

  • Google Cloud saw a meaningful acceleration in growth as revenues increased 82% to $24.8 billion, led by an increase in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) across enterprise AI Solutions and enterprise AI Infrastructure, as well as core GCP services.

  • Consolidated Alphabet operating income increased 30% and operating margin expanded by 2 percentage points to 34%.

  • Other income reflected a net gain of $98.0 billion, primarily the result of net unrealized gains on our equity securities.

  • Net income available to common stockholders increased 298% and EPS increased 294% to $9.11.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said: "Our AI investments are redefining what's possible across every part of our business.

Q2 was an amazing quarter, with Alphabet revenues growing 24% year-over-year and Google Cloud revenues accelerating to 82% growth, driven by demand for AI infrastructure and AI solutions. It's great to see wide adoption of Gemini Enterprise, with nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 using it.

We have exciting momentum across the board. Our popular AI features are driving Search query growth. Gemini models now process 22 billion API tokens per minute and the Gemini App has 950 million monthly active users. We are seeing strong demand for our security solutions, and our new Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber delivers highly cost-efficient performance at the frontier. And month over month, people turn to YouTube for major world events, with over 1.7 billion unique viewers watching World Cup-related videos during the FIFA World Cup 2026TM.

These outstanding results show that our differentiated, full stack approach to AI is delivering real, measurable value for consumers, customers, and our partners globally."

In the second quarter of 2026, we issued senior unsecured notes for net proceeds of $20.3 billion, to be used for general corporate purposes.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: free cash flow; constant currency revenues; and percentage change in constant currency revenues. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, such as our revenues excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements and hedging activities, which are recognized at the consolidated level. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the sections captioned "Reconciliation from GAAP Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow" and "Reconciliation from GAAP Revenues to Non-GAAP Constant Currency Revenues and GAAP Percentage Change in Revenues to Non-GAAP Percentage Change in Constant Currency Revenues" included at the end of this release.
