Apple Reports Results for Q2 2012: $11.6 Billion Profit on $39.2 Billion in Revenue

Apple today announced financial results for the first calendar quarter of 2012 and second fiscal quarter of 2012. For the quarter, Apple posted revenue of $39.2 billion and net quarterly profit of $11.6 billion, or $12.30 per diluted share, compared to revenue of $24.67 billion and net quarterly profit of $5.99 billion, or $6.40 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 47.4 percent, compared to 41.4 percent in the year-ago quarter, and international sales accounted for 64 percent of the quarter's revenue. Apple's quarterly profit and revenue were both company records for the March quarter.

Quarterly iPhone unit sales reached 35.1 million, up 88 percent from the year-ago quarter, and the company sold 11.8 million iPads during the quarter, up 151 percent year-over-year. Apple sold 4 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, a unit increase of 7 percent over the year-ago quarter. The company sold 7.7 million iPods, representing 15 percent unit decline year-over-year.

“We’re thrilled with sales of over 35 million iPhones and almost 12 million iPads in the March quarter,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The new iPad is off to a great start, and across the year you’re going to see a lot more of the kind of innovation that only Apple can deliver.”

Apple's guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 includes expected revenue of $34 billion and earnings per diluted share of $8.68.

Apple will provide live streaming of its Q2 2012 financial results conference call at 2:00 PM Pacific, and MacRumors will update this story with coverage of the conference call highlights.

Can't go wrong with you, even after reading the earnings report, I thought "How will Boz downplay this?". You did not disappoint. See you next quarter when they still have amazing numbers!

I have a feeling once they push out the REAL next gen iPhone which I assume will be soon it will give them a massive boost in sales/revenue.

Wow, you and Boz going at it. As a fan of neither Android nor iPhone, I'd grab some popcorn and watch you guys troll each other!

You do understand that their sales were DOWN not up Q2?

not from last year. From last quarter. Everyone is going to be up year over year because the whole segment of mobile is growing. That's all there is to it.

It's a decline from last quarter. That's all I pointed out.

No one cares about quarter to quarter unit sales because the market is seasonal. It's extremely rare for any company to outsell their holiday quarter. Can you show another smartphone manufacturer that increased their unit smartphone sales from their holiday quarter?

And no, not everyone goes up year over year (especially 88% y-o-y). RIM and Microsoft are two that come to mind.

the first quarter included Xmas sales due to expected flux's quarter to quarter some quarters have xmas, some quarters have nothing, you base it on previous years during the same time frame.

you dont base summer sales on Xmas, you bases Summer sales on last summer and last Xmas on xmas. Back to school on previous Back to schools.
