--Most Profitable Quarter Ever; Record Mac and iPhone Sales
CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Apple(R) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2009 fourth quarter ended September 26, 2009. The Company posted revenue of $9.87 billion and a net quarterly profit of $1.67 billion, or $1.82 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $7.9 billion and net quarterly profit of $1.14 billion, or $1.26 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 36.6 percent, up from 34.7 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 46 percent of the quarter's revenue.
In accordance with the subscription accounting treatment required by GAAP, the Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold for iPhone(TM) and Apple TV(R) over their estimated economic lives. Adjusting GAAP sales and product costs to eliminate the impact of subscription accounting, the corresponding non-GAAP measures* for the quarter are $12.25 billion of "Adjusted Sales" and $2.85 billion of "Adjusted Net Income."
Apple sold 3.05 million Macintosh(R) computers during the quarter, representing a 17 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 10.2 million iPods during the quarter, representing an eight percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 7.4 million iPhones in the quarter, representing seven percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter.
"We are thrilled to have sold more Macs and iPhones than in any previous quarter," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We've got a very strong lineup for the holiday season and some really great new products in the pipeline for 2010."
"We are delighted with our September quarter and fiscal 2009 results," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. "For the full year, we grew revenue by 12 percent and net income by 18 percent in extraordinarily challenging times. Looking ahead to the first fiscal quarter of 2010, we expect revenue in the range of about $11.3 billion to $11.6 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share in the range of about $1.70 to $1.78."
Apple will provide live streaming of its Q4 2009 financial results conference call utilizing QuickTime(R), Apple's standards-based technology for live and on-demand audio and video streaming. The live webcast will begin at 2:00 p.m. PDT on October 19, 2009 at www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/earningsq409/ and will also be available for replay for approximately two weeks thereafter.

21/10 2009 14:25 alang 020751 Jeg holder utroligt meget af at lytte til Cramer - han får mig næsten til at glemme, hvor kedeligt, det egentligt er at investere. Problemet er bare, at jo kedeligere, jeg synes, det er at investere - jo bedre performer jeg.
Apple i 300 - sikkert en skønne dag, men PE (hvis der da stadig er nogen, der bekymrer sig om det) er jo allerede meget høj. Det er en dyr een, og jeg foretrækker dem billigere....men flot levering til investorerne, må man erkende.

30/12 2009 19:31 cyber 023928 Nokia dispute with Apple heats up...
Nokia has stepped up its legal battle with Apple, accusing the iPhone maker of violating the Finnish mobile phone company's patent rights with virtually all its products.
The world's top mobile phone maker filed a complaint against Apple with the US International Trade Commission, alleging Apple's iPhone, iPods and computers all violate Nokia's intellectual property rights.
The seven patents at issue relate to Nokia technology being used by Apple to create features in user interface, camera, antenna and power management technologies, it said in a statement. The company claims that the technologies in question help cut manufacturing costs, reduce gadget size and prolong battery life.
