1 CFO Outlook Commentary We expect second quarter 2025 total revenue to be in the range of $42.5-45.5 billion. Our guidance assumes foreign currency is an approximately 1% tailwind to year-over-year total revenue growth, based on current exchange rates. We expect full year 2025 total expenses to be in the range of $113-118 billion, lowered from our prior outlook of $114-119 billion. We anticipate our full year 2025 capital expenditures, including principal payments on finance leases, will be in the range of $64-72 billion, increased from our prior outlook of $60-65 billion. This updated outlook reflects additional data center investments to support our artificial intelligence efforts as well as an increase in the expected cost of infrastructure hardware. The majority of our capital expenditures in 2025 will continue to be directed to our core business. Absent any changes to our tax landscape, we expect our full year 2025 tax rate to be in the range of 12-15%. In addition, we continue to monitor an active regulatory landscape, including legal and regulatory headwinds in the EU and the U.S. that could significantly impact our business and our financial results.
