Yesterday Apple presented the financial situation for the first part of this year, the company achieving record revenues for its entire history. In the first part of this year, Apple recorded revenues of approximately $15.7 billion and a net profit of $3.25 billion compared to last year when it had revenues of approximately $9.73 billion and a net profit of nearly $1.83 billion. During this period, Apple sold 3.47 million Macs, 33% more than last year; 8.4 million iPhone terminals, 61% more than last year; 9.41 million iPods, 8% less than last year; and 3.27 million iPad tablets.
The launch of the iPad and iPhone 4 (which was declared the best-selling product in the history of Apple) certainly contributed to the achievement of these record numbers, and if Apple had not had so many problems with the stock, then the receipts would certainly have been much higher. bigger. Apple is the company of the moment, even if there is a crisis, it seems that Apple is handling it extraordinarily well and is among the few lucky companies that do not know the term "crisis".
"It was a phenomenal quarter that exceeded our expectations all around, including the most successful product launch in Apple's history with iPhone 4," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "iPad is off to a terrific start, more people are buying Macs than ever before, and we have amazing new products still to come this year."
"We're really pleased to have generated over $4 billion of cash during the quarter," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. "Looking ahead to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, we expect revenue of about $18 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $3.44".
