non-GAAP free cash flow financial
"We provide non-GAAP free cash flow for the current quarter and trailing twelve months"
Non-GAAP free cash flow is a company’s reported cash generated from operations after paying for routine investments in property and equipment, adjusted by management to exclude or include certain items that aren’t part of standard accounting rules. Investors watch it as a practical measure of the cash a business has available for dividends, stock buybacks, debt repayment or reinvestment — like a household’s usable savings after adjusting for one-time or unusual expenses — but calculations vary between firms, so comparisons require caution.
constant currency revenues financial
"Reconciliation from GAAP Revenues to Non-GAAP Constant Currency Revenues"
Revenue reported as if exchange rates had not changed between periods, so growth reflects only business performance and not currency swings. It matters to investors because companies that sell in many countries can show higher or lower reported sales simply from shifting exchange rates; constant currency lets you compare results on an "apples-to-apples" basis to see genuine sales trends and management effectiveness.

Exhibit 99.1
Alphabet Announces First Quarter 2026 Results
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – April 29, 2026 – Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Consolidated Alphabet revenues increased 22%, or 19% in constant currency, to $109.9 billion, reflecting strong performance across the business and our 11th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.
Google Services revenues increased 16% to $89.6 billion, led by 19% growth in Google Search & other, 19% in Google subscriptions, platforms, and devices, and 11% in YouTube ads.
Google Cloud saw a meaningful acceleration in growth as revenues increased 63% to $20.0 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 36.1%.
Other income reflected a net gain of $37.7 billion, primarily the result of net unrealized gains on our non-marketable equity securities.
Net income increased 81% and EPS increased 82% to $5.11.
The company announced a 5% increase to the dividend, resulting in a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, said: “2026 is off to a terrific start. Our AI investments and full stack approach are lighting up every part of the business. Search had a strong quarter with AI experiences driving usage, queries at an all time high, and 19% revenue growth. Google Cloud revenues grew 63% with backlog nearly doubling quarter on quarter to over $460 billion. This was our strongest quarter ever for our consumer AI plans, driven by the Gemini App. Overall the number of paid subscriptions has now reached 350 million, with YouTube and Google One being the key drivers. Gemini Enterprise has great momentum with 40% quarter on quarter growth in paid monthly active users. And, finally, I’m pleased to see Waymo surpass 500,000 fully autonomous rides a week.
These outstanding results are built on our differentiated, full stack approach. Our first-party models, like Gemini, are now processing more than 16 billion tokens per minute via direct API use by our customers, up 60% from last quarter.

It’s really exciting to see how our AI investments are delivering value for our users, customers and business.”

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.

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 (in millions, except percentages; unaudited):
We provide non-GAAP constant currency revenues (“constant currency revenues”) and non-GAAP percentage change in constant currency revenues (“percentage change in constant currency revenues”), because they facilitate the comparison of current results to historic performance by excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements (“FX Effect”) as well as hedging activities, which are recognized at the consolidated level, as they are not indicative of our core operating results.
Non-GAAP constant currency revenues is defined as revenues excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements and hedging activities and is calculated by translating current period revenues using prior period exchange rates and excluding any hedging effect recognized in the current period. We calculate the percentage change in constant currency revenues by comparing constant currency revenues to the prior year comparable period revenues, excluding any hedging effect recognized in the prior period.
