Apple earnings day is upon us, and with it we learn how the company performed during the third fiscal quarter of 2019. AAPL forecasted Q3 earnings revenue between $52.5 billion and $54.5 billion, which compares to $53.3 billion reported in the same quarter a year ago.
So how much money did Apple actually make during April, May, and June of 2019? $53.8 billion revenue and $10.04 billion profit. Apple no longer reports iPhone, iPad, and Mac unit sales numbers, though it does report a revenue breakdown by product category.
Apple forecasts revenue between $61 billion and $64 billion during Q4 2019. More details below:
CEO Tim Cook said this about Apple’s Q3 2019 earnings:
“This was our biggest June quarter ever — driven by all-time record revenue from Services, accelerating growth from Wearables, strong performance from iPad and Mac and significant improvement in iPhone trends,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “These results are promising across all our geographic segments, and we’re confident about what’s ahead. The balance of calendar 2019 will be an exciting period, with major launches on all of our platforms, new services and several new products.”
CFO Luca Maestri added:
“Our year-over-year business performance improved compared to the March quarter and drove strong operating cash flow of $11.6 billion,” said Luca Maestri, Apple’s CFO. “We returned over $21 billion to shareholders during the quarter, including $17 billion through open market repurchases of almost 88 million Apple shares, and $3.6 billion in dividends and equivalents.”
