- Apple Computer Reports New Product Success Contributes to
- Increased Revenues and Earnings
-
- CUPERTINO, California--January 16, 1992--Apple Computer, Inc.
- reported today revenues and net income for its first fiscal quarter,
- which ended December 27, 1991.
- Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1992 were $1.863
- billion, an 11.2 percent increase from the $1.676 billion reported in
- the first quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first
- quarter was $166.0 million, a 10.3 percent increase from the prior
- year's first quarter net income of $150.5 million.
- "Strong demand for Apple's new PowerBook computer products
- contributed to revenue growth and market share gains during our first
- quarter. Apple shipped well over 100,000 PowerBooks in this first
- fiscal quarter," said John Sculley, chairman and chief executive
- officer. "At the same time we have made great strides in managing
- our financial model. While gross margins have declined significantly
- from one year ago, operating margins have increased over the same
- quarter one year ago. During a time of difficult economic and
- industry challenges, we have sustained momentum for our products,
- while changing our infrastructure to remain competitive."
- Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 1992 were $1.36 per share, an
- increase of 6 percent from the $1.28 per share earned in the first
- quarter of fiscal 1991. Gross margin was 43.7 percent of sales in
- the first quarter of fiscal 1992 compared to 51.4 percent of sales in
- the prior year period.
- In the first quarter of fiscal 1992 international sales were 45
- percent of net sales, unchanged from one year ago.
- "During the first quarter, Apple launched six new CPU's and two new
- printers, as well as a number of networking and communications
- products," Sculley continued. "We saw immediate acceptance of our
- PowerBooks in the notebook market where we had not participated
- before. We extended the price/performance capabilities of our
- product line with the introduction of the Quadra series, which has
- been well received.
- "Within our existing products, the Macintosh LC computer in
- particular continues to be a strong- selling product, with higher
- than expected education demand. Apple now has the broadest portfolio
- of products in its history.
- "Both domestic and international businesses contributed to revenue
- and unit increases during the quarter. Prevailing foreign currency
- exchange rates, while less favorable than one year ago, have
- benefited our results as compared to the prior quarter.
- "We have placed a priority on managing our financial model through
- changes driven by our market share strategy. Our operating expense
- dollars have declined 12.9 percent as compared to the first quarter
- one year ago, more than offsetting the reduction in gross margins
- over that same period. Expense control and cost reduction efforts
- during this most recent quarter have resulted in the lowest total
- operating expense ratio as a percentage of sales in over six years of
- Apple's history.
- "Apple continues to build and diversify opportunities for growth
- through the introduction of new 'hit' products, and by laying the
- groundwork for future directions in new technologies and markets.
- Recently, we have outlined initiatives in consumer electronic markets
- and for our multimedia technology.
- "The combined effects of the global economic picture, and a
- competitive industry environment are continuing challenges to which
- we must respond. We will continue to closely manage our current
- business, while putting in place plans for future growth
- opportunities."
