Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2007 third quarter ended June 30, 2007. Apple posted revenue of $5.41 billion and net quarterly profit of $818 million, or $.92 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $4.37 billion and net quarterly profit of $472 million, or $.54 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Apple shipped 1,764,000 Macintosh computers, representing 33 percent growth over the year-ago quarter and exceeding the previous company record for quarterly Mac shipments by over 150,000. The company also sold 9,815,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 21 percent growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple did not release an exact number of iPhones sold. Apple stated the company sold 270,000 units of “iPhone (4GB and 8GB models combined) and related products and services” which “consists of iPhones and Apple-branded and third-party iPhone accessories” in less than two days of quarter.
“We’re thrilled to report the highest June quarter revenue and profit in Apple’s history, along with the highest quarterly Mac sales ever,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, in the press release. “iPhone is off to a great start — we hope to sell our one- millionth iPhone by the end of its first full quarter of sales — and our new product pipeline is very strong.”
“We are very pleased to report strong financial results including cash flow from operations exceeding $1.2 billion for the quarter,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO, in the press release. “Looking ahead to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007, we expect revenue of about $5.7 billion and earnings per diluted share of about $.65.”

Expect sky-is-falling articles relating to iPod. Even though Apple sold fewer iPods quarter-to-quarter for the first time in a long time (excepting holiday quarters), they won’t mention it’s likely due to the pent-up demand for the 6G iPod.
So Apple sold 270,000 iPhones in 30 hours. That’s hardly poor. Also goes to show that far more than 2% had activation problems since AT&T only activated 146,000 of the 270,000 sold in the first 30 hours.
This is excellent news. The iPod is rocking bigger than ever, Mac Sales are going fantastic, and the iPhone is going to be even bigger than the iPod. It’s funny how stupid people can be when it comes to the iPhones “numbers”. All you have to do to realize how unbelievable the iPhone is gonna sell is own one. Once you own one, the investment part is easy. If you don’t own one, then I guess you’ll think the “numbers” for the first year are more significant. The real investment isn’t the first year, it’s the next 5 years and having owned an iPhone for 3 weeks, I think it’s easy to say it’s gonna be HUGE.
commence stock price free fall in 3,2,1…
Really now, it’s a $600 in a free phone world…how is having a larger weekend than any previous month for a phone bad?? Analysts seem to expect god like sales of everything apple and when they only get minor diety status, they freak out.
Market is not going to react well to the guidance for the next Quarter….
1M iPhones after the first quarter–so by the end of 2008 (6 quarters) will Steve meet his stated target of 10M?
Apple sold 270’000 iPhone in not even two full business days. Apple expects to sell the first million by the end of September. So this is just 730’000 more in three months? I hope the iPhones will sell a bit better.
@Peter Lemon Jello
that’s b/c the sale will be only in the US. while in 2008 it will extend to the world!! duh
The stock is down 40 cents or so in the Extended Hours.
Peace.
Oh, I nailed it at $.92! If only ATAT were still around, it might mean something. I miss that website.
@Peter Lemon Jello
In a word, yes. Apple intends to introduce the iPhone to Europe before the end of this year, and to Asia in early 2008. The market will be be much greater than just the U.S. as it is right now.
Troy Wolverton’s gloom and doom machine is about to make an appearance.
What’s that playing in the conference call wait? Beethoven Trio?
UK here, waiting for iPhone.
@Everyone who thinks apple is having a hard time selling iPhones
“Apple sold 270’000 iPhone in not even two full business days. Apple expects to sell the first million by the end of September. So this is just 730’000 more in three months? I hope the iPhones will sell a bit better.”
Wow, imagine the pain. In the middle of the summer -the electronic industries historically slowest time, Apple expects to sell over a million iPhones. Those million iPhone owners will take them to work and to school. Everyone will see that they are in fact worth that dreaded $500-600 price tag. Believe me, the iPhone will be the HOTTEST CHRISTMAS GIFT OF ALL TIME!
10 million in two Christmas’s is not to high.
That iPhone number (270,000) reflects exactly twenty business hours in Q3 (i.e. in June). From Friday, 29 June at 18:00h through midnight (even that not all stores), then from 8:00h through 22:00h on Saturday. With the exception of the fifth avenue store, which is open 24/7, and was selling iPhones for all of the remaining 30 hours in June, all other stores had 20 hours at best to push as many phones as possible. If the combined total between AT&T’s and Apple’s stores is about 2,000, that means that each store had to push about 135 phones out the door in those 20 hours. That makes it an average of one phone every ten minutes.
I have no doubt that Apple is way past one million mark. Several weeks ago, there was an article here (and elsewhere) about an insider from AT&T claiming that they have registered over 1 million iPhone users after first two weeks.
The stock has plunged immediately after closing (thank you all sellers for the buying oportunity; yesterday, I had sold 450 shares; now, I bought 500 with that money). Shares are now back up and past the closing $137.26. Although still very volatile, many are getting back in, having digested the staggering numbers.
Ultimately, it can’t go anywhere but up.
Stock if falling because those dumb a** ANALysts and idiot investors like Laura Goldf***
Motorola sold 130,000 Razr’s in 30 days…Apple sold 270,000 iPhones in 30 hours. Many people didn’t wait in line and bought online. The numbers have to be much higher at this point. Keep in mind Apple sold 1 million .99cent songs their first month and it was astronimical. Anyone who really used their brain can see that 270,000 iPhones in 30 days is also astronomical, in any electronic industry, must less the cell phone industry.
1.7 million somewhat outdated macs (I’m talking about iMacs and minis here). Thats impressive. What’s even more impressive is those Mac numbers are increasing…..
270,000 phones in 30hrs = 9000/hr. Hardly poor numbers and makes me wonder how many have been sold since that cutoff point? (If I were Apple I would want to hide the true number, for no reason other than to allow competitors to maintain their false sense of security and complacency.) Can anyone name another phone that has sold anywhere near this number? The closest might be the RAZR but I’m fairly sure even their numbers would have required weeks to acheive the same. I certainly don’t recall seeing lines forming to buy any other cellphone.
Because cellphones require a monthly/yearly commitment, most will buy when their contracts expire. The next year will show the real truth when the average person picks up the iPhone and sees for themselves what the hype is all about.
MDN word: CAN, as in only Apple can, it seems.
