Ondrej Holzman At yesterday's press conference, Apple published the financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of this year, and with its numbers it is again breaking records, as is already the custom. Where has the apple company done the most in recent months? Lets look.
If we take Apple's financial statistics briefly and clearly, we get these numbers:
- sales of Macs increased by 27% year-on-year, 3,89 million were sold
- 4,19 million iPads were sold (this is a high number considering that at the beginning sales of around 5 million units were expected for the whole year)
- however, the iPhone fared best, with 14,1 million phones sold, a 91% year-on-year increase, a huge number. About 156 of them are sold daily.
- the only deterioration was seen by iPods, with sales down 11% to 9,09 million units sold
Now let's move on to the more detailed press release where we'll find out the details. Apple reported revenue of $25 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter ended Sept. 20,34, with net income of $4,31 billion. When we compare these figures with those of last year, we see a huge increase. A year ago, Apple reported revenues of $12,21 billion with a net profit of $2,53 billion. The figure for worldwide sales shares is interesting, as exactly 57% of profits come from territories outside the US.
During the presentation of the financial results, Steve Jobs unexpectedly appeared in front of the journalists and praised his company's management. “We are thrilled to report that we have reached over $20 billion in revenue with over $4 billion in net income. All this is a record for Apple,” Jobs remarked, baiting Apple fans at the same time: "However, we still have a few surprises in store for the rest of this year."
In Cupertino, they also expect that their profits will continue to increase, and another record is due in the next quarter. So what else can we expect from Apple? And what products would you like?
