Apple records another record quarter

After strong sales in the holiday quarter, Apple’s second fiscal quarter, which corresponds to the first three months of the year, is less conducive to purchases and Apple’s results are therefore less impressive. This does not prevent the figures from progressing and Apple’s new quarterly results announced last night also represent a new record for a quarter of March with a turnover of 97.28 billion dollars, up 8.5% compared to last year, and a profit of 25.01 billion, up 5.8%.

We find growth in all items with the exception of the iPad, which is down slightly. The iPhone represents 50.57 billion dollars (+5.5%), the Mac rises to 10.44 billion dollars (+14.7%), the iPad stagnates at 7.65 billion dollars (-2 .1%) after having benefited from a strong increase in 2021, the other products (AirPods, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Beats, etc.) continue to assert themselves with 8.8 billion dollars (+ 12.4% ), and services (Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Pay, iCloud, etc.) continue to soar to 19.82 billion dollars (+ 17.3%).

As usual, the iPhone continues to account for roughly half of Apple’s revenue. The services, which have exploded in recent years, now allow Apple to earn more money than with the Mac and the iPad combined!

Unsurprisingly, Tim Cook was delighted with these good results: “These record quarterly results are a testament to Apple’s relentless capacity for innovation and our ability to create the best products and services in the world. » During this quarter, Apple’s cash flow, which grew by $28 billion, enabled Apple to return $27 billion to shareholders. Apple has also announced the payment of a dividend of 23 cents per share, an increase of 5%.

For the coming quarter, chief accountant Luca Maestri expects some difficulties due to two factors: supply problems in China due to factory closures due to Covid-19, and the economic fallout from the war. in Ukraine (including in particular the discontinuation of sales in Russia). Apple thus expects a shortfall which would be between 4 and 8 billion dollars for the coming quarter. In terms of delays, MacBooks and iPads are currently affected, but Tim Cook warned that other product categories should be expected to be affected in the future.
