- Apple Computer, Inc. Reports Record $2.000 Billion First Quarter
-
- CUPERTINO, California--January 14, 1993--Apple Computer, Inc.
- reported today record revenues for its first fiscal quarter,
- which ended December 25, 1992.
- Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1993 were $2.000
- billion, a 7.4 percent increase from the $1.863 billion
- reported in the first quarter of the prior year. Net income
- for the first quarter was $161.3 million, as compared to the
- prior year's first quarter net income of $166.0 million.
- "Demand for our systems led to Apple's first $2 billion
- revenue quarter. Total Macintosh unit growth was up over 31
- percent in the first quarter of fiscal 1993 compared to the
- same quarter in fiscal 1992," said John Sculley, chairman and
- chief executive officer. "In the first quarter we introduced
- two new PowerBook computers, the Macintosh Duo line, and
- strengthened our mid-range with CD-ROM based systems. Fiscal
- 1993 will showcase new products in each of our multiple
- businesses--personal computing, enterprise computing, and
- personal interactive electronics, as we enter the most
- aggressive new technology cycle in our history."
- Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 1993 were $1.33 per
- share as compared to $1.36 per share earned in the first
- quarter of fiscal 1992. Gross margin was 40.5 percent of net
- sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1993 compared to 43.7
- percent of net sales in the prior year period.
- In the first quarters of both fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992,
- international net sales were 45 percent of total net sales.
- "The new PowerBook 180 and 160 notebooks extend Apple's
- leadership in portable computing," said Sculley. "We continue to
- see strong demand for our notebook products, selling more
- PowerBooks in the first quarter of this fiscal year than in
- any prior quarter. The new Macintosh Duo 210 and 230 systems
- introduced in the quarter offer users the best of both worlds
- by combining a Macintosh desktop computer and a PowerBook
- computer in a single system. There was good demand during
- the quarter for the Duo systems, as well as for our new mid-
- range products targeted at multimedia users. Over 35 percent
- of the Macintosh IIvi and IIvx, and Performa 600 computers
- shipped during the quarter were systems that included CD-ROM
- drives.
- "In January at MacWorld, we launched a new range of imaging
- products, bringing color for the first time to Apple's line-
- up of printers and scanners. Apple's new product momentum
- doesn't stop here. Over the next several quarters, we plan
- to bring technology enhancements to the full range of
- Macintosh products, as well as bring to market new high end
- servers, and introduce Apple's first personal digital
- assistant (PDA) products.
- "During the first quarter of fiscal 1993, product ramp
- transitions and constraints on supplies of strategic
- components led to backlogs on several products, notably in
- the PowerBook and Duo families. While we are working to
- relieve shortages in strategic supplies, we do not expect to
- be out of backlog on certain products until the second half
- of the year.
- "As anticipated, the gross margin percentage declined in the
- first quarter due to new product introductions and pricing
- actions taken on older products in response to industry
- conditions.
- "While continuing to grow our business, Apple has practiced
- exceptional expense control during the first fiscal quarter
- of 1993. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales
- declined to 28.5 percent, the lowest level in over seven
- years of our history.
- "The personal computer industry is experiencing overall
- strong demand, and Apple has shared in this growth. For the
- second year in a row Apple has received the highest ranking
- in J.D. Power and Associates Business User Satisfaction
- studies for both Apple personal computers and Apple
- LaserWriter printers. Our technology does make a
- difference.
- "We continue to evolve our business strategy of remaining the
- technology leader in personal computing, while building
- multiple new businesses," Sculley concluded.
