Apple Reports Third Quarter Profit of $61 Million

CUPERTINO, California-July 17, 2001-Apple today announced financial
results for its fiscal 2001 third quarter ended June 30, 2001. For the
quarter, the Company posted a net profit of $61 million, or $.17 per
diluted share. These results compare to a net profit of $200 million, or
$.55 per diluted share, achieved in the year ago quarter. Revenues for the
quarter were $1.475 billion, down 19 percent from the year ago quarter, and
gross margins were 29.4 percent, compared to 29.8 percent in the year ago
quarter. International sales accounted for 44 percent of the quarter's
revenues.

The quarter's results included a $7 million favorable after-tax impact
resulting from net equity investment gains, offset by an after-tax charge
of $7 million related to the purchase of in-process research and
development associated with the acquisition of PowerSchool, Inc. These
non-recurring items had a net neutral impact on the reported results.

Apple shipped 827 thousand Macintosh units during the quarter.

""""""""We had a great education quarter, with significant year over year growth,
and a great iBook quarter, shipping over 182,000 of our new wildly popular
consumer and education notebooks,"""""""" said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. """"""""Perhaps
the most strategic event of the quarter was the launching of Apple Retail
Stores, with the very successful openings of our first two stores, and
plans to open 23 more in 2001.""""""""

""""""""We're delivering solid profitability while maintaining lean channel
inventories in a weak economic environment,"""""""" said Fred Anderson, Apple's
CFO. """"""""Our balance sheet remains very strong, with over $4.2 billion in
cash, and we are targeting a slight sequential increase in revenues and
earnings per share in the September quarter.""""""""
