LEASES

We have entered into non-cancellable operating and finance leases for fulfillment network, office, data center, and physical store facilities as well as server and networking equipment, aircraft, and vehicles. Gross assets acquired under finance leases, including those where title transfers at the end of the lease, are recorded in “Property and equipment, net” and were $68.0 billion and $64.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023. Accumulated amortization associated with finance leases was $45.2 billion and $44.6 billion as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023.
