Apple Reports 4Q 2022 Results: $20.7B Profit on $90.1B Revenue

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, which corresponds to the third calendar quarter of the year.

For the quarter, Apple posted revenue of $90.1 billion and net quarterly profit of $20.7 billion, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to revenue of $83.4 billion and net quarterly profit of $20.6 billion, or $1.24 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Gross margin for the quarter was 42.3 percent, compared to 42.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. Apple also declared a quarterly dividend payment of $0.23 per share, payable on November 10 to shareholders of record as of November 7.

For the full fiscal year, Apple set new company records with $394.3 billion in sales and $99.8 billion in net income, up from $365.8 billion in sales and $94.7 billion in net income for fiscal 2021.

"This quarter's results reflect Apple's commitment to our customers, to the pursuit of innovation, and to leaving the world better than we found it," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "As we head into the holiday season with our most powerful lineup ever, we are leading with our values in every action we take and every decision we make. We are deeply committed to protecting the environment, to securing user privacy, to strengthening accessibility, and to creating products and services that can unlock humanity's full creative potential."

As has been the case for over two years now, Apple is once again not issuing guidance for the current quarter ending in December.

Apple will provide live streaming of its fiscal Q4 2022 financial results conference call at 2:00 pm Pacific, and MacRumors will update this story with coverage of the conference call highlights.

Good stuff! I always want them to do well, despite their missteps.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Beat estimates as expected.

 

[minik]

Not a bad quarter with 8 days of this year iPhone on sales but services weren't hot.

 

[sorgo †]

Nicely done, Cookie

 

[phill85]

They could increase those declining iPad sales by putting out a 14 and 16 inch iPad Pro, and make it closer to MacOS…

 

[madrigal77]

Really need to ram those ads into the app store though or they'd be destitute.

 

[bjjp2]

Obligatory: But can't include a power adapter with a phone.

Nailed it! Good job, Apple 👏🏻.

Stellar 47.3% from an iPhone! Love to Apple forever 💫 ⭐️

Well Booya Apple!

Another all time record revenue quarter? How can anyone complain about that?

Hope they jack up the dividend in April though - the ridiculous volatility of the stock is too much

I didn't even know they still had iPods. Now discontinued. Maybe because people don't know they exist and because they are barely cheaper than an SE

 

[GMShadow]

iPad being down isn't a surprise - a mixture of no real updates to the product line (apart from the Mini, which is a tiny part of the pie) for years, as well as people waiting for new iPads in October.

We'll see how Q1 looks but I wouldn't be surprised if it's flat.

I agree. This is where Tim Cook shines.

 

[Rogifan]

Second quarter in a row where Apple’s services revenues are down. Dropped to single digit growth for the first time in a long time. Not good, especially if Wall Street is demanding Apple grow services. Who knows what the company will do to try and get those numbers back up.

 

[Retskrad]

Good lord…. The Mac is going up like a rocket. Amazing.

 

[Realityck]

They did well in the 4th quarter all things considering. Still don't like they have to increase revenue though raising subscription costs for their services. See Mac Sales have increased a bit even without really that many new product introductions. (Mac Studio, and M2 MBA/M2 13" MBP only)

Guess we can expect even more ads in the App Store 😂

Adds of course, + increasing prices on most services…

 

[vegetassj4]

hmmmm....we'll see as the call continues. Down 4% today as of right now (including AH)

Apple beats but comes up light on iPhone sales and services

Apple reported earnings after the bell. Here are the key numbers compared to what Wall Street was expecting, per Refinitiv estimates.

Absolutely saved by the Mac.

No surprise. Apple Silicon is generations ahead of AMD and Intel chips.

Macs are growing at 25% while PCs are declining at 15% YoY.

Wallstreet underrated the Mac. Apple only has about 10% of the market. There is a lot of room to grow. Macs could one day dominate like the iPhone.

Also, it turned out that IDC’s report was far more accurate than Gartner’s.

PS. I'm very thankful to own Apple as my big tech stock over Amazon and Meta. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-i-can-use-gains-to-buy-an-m1-laptop.2275952/

 

[FloridaScrubJay]

Not surprised. Apple is a quality lifestyle company. Not like some of its competitors. Microsoft must be envious. Facebook?, well I will leave it at that.

 

[applesith]

Beat estimates as expected.

It's a mixed bag. They barely beat some and missed on others. Analysts had predicted $1.27 earnings per share, which Apple narrowly beat. iPad and services revenue missed expectations: $7.17 billion vs $7.94 billion estimated and $19.19 billion vs $20.10 billion estimated, respectively. iPhone revenue also missed expectations: $42.63 billion vs $43.21 estimated. Overall “products revenue” was a beat, with analysts predicting $69.04 billion and Apple hitting $70.96 billion.

I guess anyone that actually buys their overpriced products could complain that they could lower the prices (or keep them the same instead of raising them) and still make a profit? I mean $20B in profit and they need to jack up the rates of Apple TV+ and iPad? Give me a break.

EDIT: One has to wonder what kind of bonus Timmy gets on the back premium-priced products and services + increased prices this year?

Yay apple!! Woohoo!!!

(Pays $1000+ like a sheep for the same phone) 😒
