Quarterly RevenueExtraordinary Growth •Wall Street was bullish,
but revenues of $58.0B left analysts on the earnings call stunned
•These numbers are leaving competitors in the dust, as Samsung Electronics saw revenues fall by 12% in Q4 (15% in USD), and Samsung Mobile, which fell by 20% (23% in USD)
•Apple’s continued strong growth is all the more remarkable considering the size of the company today - the laws of large numbers do not seem to apply.

Cash, Investments & Capital ReturnCapital Return Program Grows •Apple generated $19.1B of cash from
operations in the Quarter, another huge jump from the year-ago quarter
•The company returned $9.7B to shareholders during the quarter, mostly through Stock Repurchases ($7B), which offer Apple greater flexibility than dividends
•Long and short term cash holdings grew by $16B in the quarter, and the company now has over $194B in cash
•This is enough to pay off the national debt of Malaysia or Switzerland (and nearly that of Russia), and is more than the GDP of New Zealand
•Cash held outside the US, for tax reasons, is increasingly an issue: Apple is borrowing in the US to fund the capital return programme, while the offshore cash approaches 90% of the total ($171B)

Revenue Mix by Product LineiPhone dominates •iPhone’s dominance
was massive, with 69% of the revenues, and probably nearer 75-80% of the profit in the quarter
•10% unit growth for Mac, but declining ASPs saw it gain only 2% in $ to a 9% share of the mix
•iPad was the big loser, declining a further 29%, and slipping behind Mac in $
•Services continues to grow (but needs subscription audio)
•Other Products declined with iPod, which was about a quarter of this category in Q2 2014 - Beats seems unable to reverse this trend

Geo Revenue and 12m TrailingAmericas/China Ticked Up •Trailing 12 months shows clearly
where Apple’s growth is coming from - Americas, China and APAC
•China was on fire, and also benefitted from the Chinese New Year holiday during the quarter, which is increasingly a sales driver
•EMEIA appears to be slowing, reflecting the developed nature of the region and its sluggish economy
•Japan was the one weaker region, the causes of which were not touched on during the call.
•APAC is still small, but ticking up strongly

previous Quarters) eliminates seasonality, and

iPhone, and was relaxed about this •The IBM partnership has still to bring a major impact,
but remains promising - sales cycles are long. First major such deal (in Japan) just announced (hits Q3 onwards)
