Apple Reports Record First Quarter Results
Highest-ever revenue &
earnings drive 48% increase in EPS
Growth led by record revenue from iPhone, Mac & App Store
CUPERTINO, CaliforniaJanuary 27, 2015Apple® today announced financial results for
its fiscal 2015 first quarter ended December 27, 2014. The Company posted record quarterly revenue of $74.6 billion and record quarterly net profit of $18 billion, or $3.06 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $57.6 billion
and net profit of $13.1 billion, or $2.07 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 39.9 percent compared to 37.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 65 percent of the quarters revenue.
The results were fueled by all-time record revenue from iPhone® and Mac® sales as well as record performance of the App StoreSM. iPhone unit sales of 74.5 million also set a new record.
Wed like to thank
our customers for an incredible quarter, which saw demand for Apple products soar to an all-time high, said Tim Cook, Apples CEO. Our revenue grew 30 percent over last year to $74.6 billion, and the execution by our teams to
achieve these results was simply phenomenal.
Our exceptional results produced EPS growth of 48 percent over last year, and $33.7 billion
in operating cash flow during the quarter, an all-time record, said Luca Maestri, Apples CFO. We spent over $8 billion on our capital return program, bringing total returns to investors to almost $103 billion, over $57 billion of
which occurred in just the last 12 months.
Apple is providing the following guidance for its fiscal 2015 second quarter:
|
|
revenue between $52 billion and $55 billion |
|
|
gross margin between 38.5 percent and 39.5 percent |
|
|
operating expenses between $5.4 billion and $5.5 billion |
|
|
other income/(expense) of $350 million |
|
|
tax rate of 26.3 percent |
Apples
board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $.47 per share of the Companys common stock. The dividend is payable on February 12, 2015, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2015.
Apple will provide live streaming of its Q1 2015 financial results conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. PST on January 27, 2015 at

This press release contains forward-looking statements including without limitation those about the
Companys estimated revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, other income/(expense), and tax rate. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ. Risks and uncertainties include without limitation the effect
of competitive and economic factors, and the Companys reaction to those factors, on consumer and business buying decisions with respect to the Companys products; continued competitive pressures in the marketplace; the ability of the
Company to deliver to the marketplace and stimulate customer demand for new programs, products, and technological innovations on a timely basis; the effect that product introductions and transitions, changes in product pricing or mix, and/or
increases in component costs could have on the Companys gross margin; the inventory risk associated with the Companys need to order or commit to order product components in advance of customer orders; the continued availability on
acceptable terms, or at all, of certain components and services essential to the Companys business currently obtained by the Company from sole or limited sources; the effect that the Companys dependency on manufacturing and logistics
services provided by third parties may have on the quality, quantity or cost of products manufactured or services rendered; risks associated with the Companys international operations; the Companys reliance on third-party intellectual
property and digital content; the potential impact of a finding that the Company has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others; the Companys dependency on the performance of distributors, carriers and other resellers of the
Companys products; the effect that product and service quality problems could have on the Companys sales and operating profits; the continued service and availability of key executives and employees; war, terrorism, public health issues,
natural disasters, and other circumstances that could disrupt supply, delivery, or demand of products; and unfavorable results of other legal proceedings. More information on potential factors that could affect the Companys financial results
is included from time to time in the Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the Companys public reports filed with the SEC, including the
Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014, and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2014 to be filed with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or
information, which speak as of their respective dates.
