Apple Newsroom:
Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 second quarter ended March 30, 2024. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $90.8 billion, down 4 percent year over year, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $1.53.
Net sales year-over-year by product (from Apple’s consolidated statement):
Percentage | Dollars | |
---|---|---|
iPhone | -10% | -$5.4B |
Mac | +4% | +$0.3B |
iPad | -17% | -$1.1B |
Wearables, etc. | -10% | -$0.8B |
Services | +14% | +3.0B |
And by region:
Percentage | Dollars | |
---|---|---|
Americas | -1% | -$0.5B |
Europe | +1% | +$0.2B |
Greater China | -8% | -$1.4B |
Japan | -13% | -$0.9B |
Rest of Asia Pacific | -17% | -$1.4B |
Credit where credit is due: IDC’s projection that iPhone sales were down 10 percent year-over-year was spot-on.
And Tim Cook’s decade-ago decision to focus both the company and investors’ attention on Services looks ever more prescient. As it stands, a 4 percent overall drop in revenue makes for an ever-so-slightly bad quarter. If not for Services growth, however, this would’ve been a not-so-slightly bad quarter.
