The Company posted revenue of $4.84 billion and net quarterly profit of $546 million, or $.62 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $3.68 billion and net profit of $430 million, or $.50 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 29.2 percent, up from 28.1 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 40 percent of the quarter’s revenue.In addition, 61% of Macs sold were laptops confirming the excellent sales of MB and MB Pro. Mac Pro demands are good, but will probably increase when Universal binaries creative suite will be released from leader software companies (Adobe being among them).
Apple shipped 1,610,000 Macintosh® computers and 8,729,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 30 percent growth in Macs and 35 percent growth in iPods over the year-ago quarter.
Proving Apple development outside USA, international sales accounted for 40% of the quarter’s revenue.
So if we are still far away from the goal of 10% computer market share, at least apple is going towards right direction.
