- They have different fiscal years, so these aren't quite directly
- comparable, but, in thousands:
-
- Apple FY 91 (Sept '91) Revenues $6,308,849
- Net Income $ 309,841
-
- IBM FY 91 (Dec '91) Revenues $ 64,792,000
- Net Income $ (2,827,000) * Includes (2,263,000)
- from adoption of SFAS 106.
- Total non-recurring charges
- for the year, $6.3 billion.
-
- According to John Akers, as reported in Investor's Business Daily
- 16dec92, mainframe revenues may be down as much as 10% in 1992 from
- 1991. He also said the company's PC shipments will hit a record
- high this year, but that the company is losing money on PCs.
-
- It's also interesting to note that, based on the nine months ended
- 30sep92, sales made up 50.6% of revenues, vs. 17.6% for software,
- 12.7% for maintenance, 11.0% for services, 7.9% rentals &
- financing. This is a considerable shift from a few years ago. In
- 1989, revenues were 66% sales, 13% software, 11% maintenance, 5%
- services, and 5% rentals and financing.
-
- If you want information on the companies, just call them up and ask
- for their annual reports -- a much more reliable source than the net.
