Apple has just released its earnings report for its fiscal year third quarter, beating most estimates.
Apple posted revenue of $28.57 billion for the quarter with a net profit of $7.31 billion. For perspective, for the same quarter last year, they had $15.70 billion revenue with $3.25 billion in net profit, so yeah, they’re doing alright.
Apple sold 20.34 million iPhones, 9.25 million iPads, 3.95 million Macs, and 7.54 million iPods during the quarter.
iPhone sales are up 142% for the quarter (YoY). iPad sales are up 183% and Mac sales are up 14%. iPod sales are down 20%. I would guess this is due to a combination of music being available on these other devices, the fact that so many people already have iPods, and the growing popularity of online streaming music services. Mac sales were particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific region. Mac sales were driven by Macbook Pro and Macbook Air.
Mac OS X Lion will be released tomorrow.
The ITunes store generated revenue of 1.4 billion – up year over year. Customers have downloaded over 15 billion songs to date.
It was the highest quarterly revenue and earnings in Apple’s history. Also record for iPhone and iPad sales. 86% of Fortune 500 are deploying or testing iPad, CFO Peter Oppenheimer said.
Apple plans to open 30 new stores in the September quarter.
Steve Jobs didn’t get on the conference call.
Here is the release in its entirety.
