Apple
has released its fiscal Q1 2015 earnings and the result is pretty
staggering. Well, the Cupertino, California based iPhone maker has
broken all the records with most profitable quarter ever not just in
Apple history but in corporate history.
The company reported $74.6 billion in
revenue, $18 billion in net profit representing $3.06 per share. The $18
billion net profit put it in the top spot. Russia’s Gazprom (the
largest natural gas extractor in the world) previously held the record
at $16.2 billion in a quarter.
Apple’s own guidance from its last
earnings release predicted between $63.5 billion and $66.5 billion in
revenue, with gross margin between 37.5 percent and 38.5 percent
percent. Apple’s guidance has been accurate for the past year and a
half, with the upper end of the forecast very close to what it actually
reported. But this time, Apple was conservative and easily surpassed its
own guidance.
Tim Cook talking to the press said that the iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Pus’s soaring sales are the main reason of this
outstanding success. According to recent market analysis, this quarter
saw largest number of consumers using iPhones and well as the largest
number switches from Android to iOS.
This quarter also saw Apple becoming the biggest smartphone manufacturer in China
in term of shipments with staggering $16.1 billion in revenue. The
company didn’t reveal the detailed region specific numbers, however, the
total international sales represented 65 percent of Apple’s revenue.
Apple’s soaring international revenue
points towards very bright future of the company not just in terms of
hardware but also it’s iOS ecosystem. Sixth generation iPhones have
played a major role in this staggering success which embraced large
screen and LTE to swell its sales exponentially in the global market.
