Apple’s latest quarter was a monster, alright.
Reporting first quarter earnings after the bell Tuesday, Apple rolled out the big numbers once again, its strong financials fueled by record iPhone and iPad sales.
The company posted a profit of $13.06 billion revenue that of $46 billion. Earnings per share were $13.87, far more than the $10.08 per share analysts had been expecting.
Apple said it sold 37.04 million iPhones for the quarter, up more than 128 percent from the year prior; 15.43 million iPads, up 111 percent (so much for the Kindle Fire …); 5.2 million Macs, up 26 percent; and nearly 15.4 million iPods, down 21 percent. Big numbers — all of them. And all but one trounced estimates.

Big numbers — all of them. And all but one trounced estimates.
Analysts had expected Apple to report first-quarter earnings of $10.08 a share on revenue of about $38.8 billion. And on average, they’d called for iPhone shipments of nearly 30 million, iPad shipments of about 14 million and Mac shipments of around five million.
“We’re thrilled with our outstanding results and record-breaking sales of iPhones, iPads and Macs,” Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. “Apple’s momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline.”
Apple’s guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as per usual is comically low: expected revenue of $32.5 billion and earnings per diluted share of $8.50.
Apple shares, which had slipped more than 1.6 percent to $420.31 in advance of the company’s earnings announcement are now headed back upwards in after hours trading.
NOTES FROM THE EARNINGS CALL
Quick observations before the call: Apple now has $97 billion in cash, short and long term securities on hand. Apple’s profits exceeded Google’s entire revenue — $10.6 billion.
Q! 2012 brought with it all time highs for quarterly iPhone, iPad and Mac sales.
Customers have downloaded over 100 million apps from the Mac App Store in its first year.
iPod still claims an over 70 percent share of the MP3 market.
The iTunes store generated $1.7 billion in revenue. $120 million in apps and music sold on December 25th alone.
Strong iPhone growth across segments driven by iPhone 4S. Siri has “captivated” consumers.”
Almost all of the Fortune 500 support the iPhone. Many are developing mission critical iPhone apps.
iPad is popular …
… with all segments of the market. Unprecedented adoption in Fortune 500 and education.
Over 600,000 copies of iBooks Author have been downloaded so far.
85 million iCloud customers so far.
By the end of this month developers will have earned $4 billion cumulatively from App Store sales.
$6.1 billion in revenue from Apple retail stores. Each store generated an average of $17.1 million in revenue last quarter. That’s an increase of 43 percent from the year prior.
“We are actively discussing uses of our cash balance. But we have nothing to announce at this time. … We’re not letting it burn a hole in our pocket.”
Tim Cook: “The reception for the iPhone 4S has been breathtaking. … We made a very bold bet on demand, and it turns out we were short on supply throughout the quarter. … Actually, we ended it with a significant backlog. We’re still short in key geographies.
Cook: “I think we made the right decision to go with a broad range of iPhones.”
Demand for the iPhone in China is “staggering”. Even though Apple is only selling through its Web site and retail partners “demand is off the charts.”
Flooding in Thailand has forced Apple to pay more for hard drives. There wasn’t a material supply or cost impact on any product lines in December quarter, but there will likely be a cost increase in March.
Cook: We’re really happy with the 15.4 million ipads we were able to sell. This is consistenw with our longterm beleife that this is a huge opportunity for Apple over time. And as i’ve said before there will come a day that the tablet market is larger than the PC market. IDC’s recent data shows that tablet sales exceeded desktop PC sales in the US. There is significant momentum in this space.
In terms of competitiveness, the iPad ecosystem is in a class by itself. We now have 70,000 apps. … I think people really want to do multiple things with their tablets, so we don’t see these limited function tablets and e-readers as being in the same category as iPad. We don’t think people who want an iPad will settle for limited function device.
Peter Oppenheimer on Apple’s $97 billion in cash and what the company might do with it: “We know it’s growing. We’re talking about it. … When we have something to announce, we’ll announce it.” He really doesn’t want to answer questions about this.
Cook on Apple TV and a possible Apple Television: Apple TV is doing extremely well, we just sold a record 104 million units. But we still classify this area as a hobby. We think it’s a fantastic product and we continue to pull strings and see where we can take it.
Another question about that $97 billion. Did I mention Oppenheimer really doesn’t want to answer questions about Apple’s cash?
Cook: We’re thrilled with iCloud. The response from our customers has been incredible. We’ve signed up 80 million customers in three months. It’s not a product, it’s a strategy for the next decade.
Nothing much to say about adding more iPhone carriers in China. Cook: “It’s important market and we continue to look at how to grow it farther.”
Question about Anobit acquisition, but Oppenheimer dodges.
Cook on the iPhone in India and Russia: We’re selling in Russia through reseller and carrier partners and we’re doing the same thing in India. … The next country on our list is Brazil — there’s a huge opportunity there. But I don’t envision Apple Retail going there in the near term.
Cook: When I looked at the data, particularly in the US, after Amazon launched the Kindle Fire, there wasn’t an obvious effect plus or minus.
Cook: “There is cannibalization of the Mac by iPad, but there’s much more cannibalization of the PC. We love that trend. The iPad is beginning to appear everywhere. Enterprise has adopted it, education … we sold twice as many iPads into education as we did Macs. … It’s remarkable we’ve sold 55 million iPads and we’ve only been in the business since April of 2010.”
