Services Revenue Reaches New All-Time High of $11.5 Billion
Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2019 second
quarter ended March 30, 2019. The Company posted quarterly revenue of
$58 billion, a decline of 5 percent from the year-ago quarter, and
quarterly earnings per diluted share of $2.46, down 10 percent.
International sales accounted for 61 percent of the quarter’s revenue.
“Our March quarter results show the continued strength of our installed
base of over 1.4 billion active devices, as we set an all-time record
for Services, and the strong momentum of our Wearables, Home and
Accessories category, which set a new March quarter record,” said Tim
Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We delivered our strongest iPad growth in six years,
and we are as excited as ever about our pipeline of innovative hardware,
software and services. We’re looking forward to sharing more with
developers and customers at Apple’s 30th annual Worldwide Developers
Conference in June.”
“We generated operating cash flow of $11.2 billion in the March quarter
and continued to make significant investments in all areas of our
business,” said Luca Maestri, Apple’s CFO. “We also returned over $27
billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Given
our confidence in Apple’s future and the value we see in our stock, our
Board has authorized an additional $75 billion for share repurchases. We
are also raising our quarterly dividend for the seventh time in less
than seven years.”
Reflecting the approved increase, Apple’s board of directors has
declared a cash dividend of $0.77 per share of the Company’s common
stock, an increase of 5 percent. The dividend is payable on May 16, 2019
to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2019.
The management team and the Board will continue to review each element
of the capital return program regularly and plan to provide an update on
the program on an annual basis.
Apple is providing the following guidance for its fiscal 2019 third
quarter:
• revenue between $52.5 billion and $54.5 billion
• gross margin
between 37 percent and 38 percent
• operating expenses between $8.7
billion and $8.8 billion
• other income/(expense) of $250 million
•
tax rate of approximately 16.5 percent
Apple will provide live streaming of its Q2 2019 financial results
