Q1 2023 Financial Highlights (unaudited)
Alphabet's first quarter 2023 results reflect:
- $2.6 billion in charges related to reductions in our workforce and office space.
- A $988 million reduction in depreciation expense from the change in estimated useful life of our servers and certain network equipment.
- A shift in the timing of our annual employee stock-based compensation awards resulting in relatively less stock-based compensation expense recognized in the first quarter compared to the remaining quarters of the year. The shift in timing itself will not affect the amount of stock-based compensation expense over the full fiscal year 2023.
