"Apple's results for the just-completed financial quarter, Q2-2011, are predictably impressive."

Impressive indeed, earning a net profit of $5.99 billion on revenues of $24.67 billion. This is a record for their second quarter earnings. Some of the highlights:

  • Macs - 3.76 million sold, up 28% over last year;
  • iPhone - 18.65 million sold internationally, up 113% over last year, with an increase of 155% in the US;
  • iPad - This included the iPad 2, although only the last three weeks of the quarter, but had sales of 4.7 million in 59 countries. The figures were total without breaking apart the original from the iPad 2 however;
  • iTunes Store - The online store brought in $1.6 billion, which made it the best quarter ever. The store carries over 350,000 apps and has paid out over $2 billion to the iOS developers. The iBookstore added 17,000 titles during the quarter and has recorded over 100 million downloads;
  • Apple Retail Stores - In May (the 19th to be exact) it will be ten years since the first store opened, and in this quarter the stores served 71.7 million visitors with an average of $9.39 billion revenue per store.

There is more to the report and you can read it in its entirety here at Apple.

Apple Records Record Revenue in Q4 2010

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple News" @ 07:30 AM

"Apple reported Monday that it brought in a record $20.3 billion in revenue during the September quarter, the company's fiscal fourth quarter, and a record $4.34 billion in profit. That's up 67% year-over-year in revenue and up 73% year-over-year in earnings."

This didn't stop the stock from dropping about 5.6% yesterday to final price of $318.00 USD per share, but the stock had quite the run leading up to the financial conference call yesterday. Among the highlights yesterday besides the revenue of course, were that they sold a record 3.89 million Macs (up 27% from previous year), 14.1 million iPhones (up 91% from previous year) and 4.19 million iPads. The only downer was the sales of 9.05 million iPods (down 11% from last year). The biggest highlight for some was the fact that Steve Jobs made an appearance in the call, saying "we have a few surprises left for the remainder of this calendar year." I can't wait until tomorrow can you?

Pretty good quarter for Apple, and the stock reacted by jumping up about $8.00 USD [link]. The company as a whole had revenue of $15.7 billion USD with a profit during Q3 2010 of #3.25 billion USD. Quite the jump from Q3 2009 when the revenue was $9.73 billion USD and the profit was $1.83 billion USD. International sales were 52 percent of the revenue total, compared to 44% in Q3 2009 [link]. The retail stores results were impressive as well posting a record 60.9 million visitors, up over 20% from the previous record [link].

This should help them pay for the cost of the free cases, expected to cost in the neighborhood of $175 million USD [link].
