- Apple Computer, Inc. Reports
- Third Quarter Results
-
- CUPERTINO, California July 17, 1991 Apple Computer, Inc. reported
- today that in its third fiscal quarter unit shipments of its popular
- Macintosh personal computers grew by more than 60 percent, and that
- net revenues increased by 12 percent, compared to the third quarter a
- year ago. Apple also announced that it has taken a one time charge
- of $224.0 million, or $138.9 million after tax, for restructuring,
- cost reduction, and other activities that are now underway at the
- company. As a result of these charges, the company reported a net
- loss for the quarter of $53.1 million.
- "Apple's market share is growing as we continue to post significant
- increases in unit shipments and revenue," said John Sculley, chairman
- and chief executive officer. "Now, we are taking important steps to
- lower our costs because success in this industry in the future will
- depend on increasingly cost effective operations in addition to
- technological and market leadership. Our restructuring activities,
- and the costs associated with them, while difficult in the short run,
- will provide important competitive benefits as we move forward."
- Apple's net revenues for the quarter grew to $1.529 billion, compared
- with $1.365 billion in the year ago period. International revenues
- accounted for 44 percent of total revenues, compared with 42 percent
- during the third quarter of fiscal 1990. Gross margin for the
- quarter was 45.8 percent compared with 54.0 percent in the year ago
- period.
- The net loss per share for the quarter was $.44, including $1.16 per
- share for restructuring and other expenses. The company reported
- earnings per share of $.96 in the third quarter a year ago.
- "During the quarter we took a number of actions aimed at positioning
- Apple even more competitively for the future," Sculley continued.
- "We are reducing our operating expenses as a percentage of sales, and
- intend to do even more of this through our restructuring activities.
- We announced our intention to work together with IBM on important new
- technology initiatives in the areas of enterprise computing, AIX and
- A/UX development, object-oriented software platforms, RISC
- technology, and multimedia. And, throughout the quarter we
- continued to implement important changes in our distribution
- channels, including the authorization of high-volume superstores in
- the United States.
- "The personal computer industry is undergoing fundamental changes
- that will shape the global information economy far into this decade.
- We are committed to redesigning Apple's infrastructure and financial
- model so that they are both sustainable advantages within the
- dynamics of this changing industry. While we face a number of
- important challenges in the near term--including sluggish industry
- demand for all PC's from both European and US business customers, and
- a strengthening of the U.S. dollar--we remain focused on our strategy of
- gaining market share and becoming a more important player in the
- industry."
- Apple's restructuring, cost reduction, and other activities will be
- implemented on an ongoing basis over the next 12 to 18 months. These
- activities include work force reductions, consolidation and
- relocation of some distribution and administrative activities, the
- elimination of certain leased facilities, and litigation costs
- unrelated to the restructuring.
