Apple reports first fiscal quarter record numbers
Apple released their numbers for Q4-2011 yesterday and you cannot be anything but impressed. Apple is doing extremely well across the board.
The Company posted record quarterly revenue of $46.33B and record quarterly net profit of $13.06B.
The Company sold 37.04 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 128 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 15.43 million iPads during the quarter, a 111 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 5.2 million Macs during the quarter, a 26 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 15.4 million iPods, a 21 percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter.
International sales accounted for 58 percent of the quarter’s revenue.
“We’re thrilled with our outstanding results and record-breaking sales of iPhones, iPads and Macs,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Apple’s momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline.”
International sales accounted for 58 percent of the quarter’s revenue.
Delivering such results in a sluggish global economy is nothing but outstanding.
Apple is primarily a consumer focused company delivering products, which are adored by their customers and feared by their competitors. The steady rumors that Apple will launch a TV set, must keep some of the high-end brands like German Loewe and Danish B&O awake at night.
