Apple just released its earnings report, breaking its own records yet again. The company posted record revenue of $54.5 billion and record quarterly net profit of $13.1 billion. These are up from revenue of $46.3 billion and net profit of $13.1 billion in the year-ago quarter.
The company sold 47.8 Million iPhones and 22.9 Million iPads during the quarter, up from 37 million and 15.4 million respectively in the year-ago quarter. Mac sales were down year-over-year at 4.1 million from 5.2 million. iPod sales were down to 12.7 million from 15.4 million.
CEO Tim Cook said, “We’re thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter. We’re very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world.”
Apple also declared a cash dividend of $2.65 per share of the company’s common stock, payable on February 14 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 11.
Despite Apple’s record revenues and profits, the company still missed analyst’s expectations. Business Insider has a good comparison by the numbers of by how much for each category.
Tim Cook praised the company’s “extraordinary quarter” during the earnings call, saying, “No technology company has ever reported these kinds of results.”
