Apple (AAPL) Q3 2022 Earnings Call Transcript (Motley Fool)

Good day, and welcome to the Apple Q3 FY 2022 earnings conference call. Today's call is being recorded. At this time, for opening remarks and introductions, I ...

What matters to us, I think it goes back to Tim was saying earlier, is we want to make sure that people love our products and services, and we want all of them to be equally successful in the marketplace. And we did see a rebound in those same cities toward the end of the quarter in the June time frame. I can just tell you that looking at the numbers, there does appear to be headwinds in addition to the four items that we can articulate and we believe those to be macroeconomic headwinds. And you mentioned in your prepared remarks that you saw sort of the record number of switchers in the quarter. As we move from the June to the September quarter, maybe can you dig a level deeper and kind of help us understand some of the moving pieces in the services business? And so we're really looking at all of these things from the installed base to the number of switchers to the geographic distribution. And when you think about the number of challenges in the quarter, we feel really good about the growth that we put up for the quarter. And if you look at the June quarter, we do believe that we saw macroeconomic headwinds that impacted our business and our results. And so it's a mixed bag in terms of what we believe that we saw. And the iPad installed base reached a new all-time high, with over half of the customers during the quarter being new to the product. We set a June quarter revenue record of $83 billion, up 2% year over year despite supply constraints, over 300 basis points of foreign exchange headwinds and the impact of our business in Russia. Around the world, we set new June quarter records in the Americas, in Europe, and rest of Asia Pacific. Turning to iPhone. We set a June quarter record for both revenue and switchers to iPhone. With its advanced performance, capability and ease of use, customers continue to find that iPhone remains the gold standard for smartphones.

Apple beats on revenue and profit, expects growth to accelerate ... (CNBC)

Apple reported fiscal third-quarter earnings on Thursday that beat Wall Street expectations for sales and profit but showed slowing growth for the iPhone maker.

Cook said that the iPad decline was also driven by supply constraints and a strong dollar. Cook said the ultimate hit came in under $4 billion. It includes monthly subscriptions, payment fees, warranties, search licensing fees from Google, and revenue from the iPhone App Store. Apple typically releases new iPhones in September and sales fall as customers anticipate new models. Apple's soft growth may suggest that the consumer electronics industry — including leaders like Apple — is headed for a period of slow or no growth. Apple did not provide formal guidance for the quarter. Cook said the results were better than expected and CFO Luca Maestri said it was a "challenging operating environment." "We do see inflation in our cost structure," Cook said. - Mac revenue: $7.38 billion vs. - Services revenue: $19.60 billion vs. - Revenue: $83 billion vs. - iPhone revenue: $40.67 billion vs.

Apple earnings narrowly tops estimates as iPhone sales fare better ... (Fortune)

Revenue rose 2% to $83 billion in the period, which ended June 25, compared with an average analyst prediction of $82.8 billion. Earnings amounted to $1.20 a ...

Apple generated $7.38 billion from the Mac, badly missing predictions of about $8.45 billion. Still, it generated $7.22 billion last quarter, above the $6.93 billion estimate. The ongoing Covid restrictions in China have sparked concerns about the effect on consumer spending. Apple also had little in the way of new products to lure customers in recent months. Last quarter’s sales from digital services like iCloud, AppleCare, Apple TV+ and Apple Music climbed 12% to $19.6 billion during the period. But the company said demand was particularly weak for low-end and mid-tier phones running Android, rather than the iPhone. Still, the iPhone numbers suggest that Apple is weathering a slowdown in smartphone spending. The company didn’t provide guidance for the fourth quarter, continuing an approach it adopted at the beginning of the pandemic. Wall Street had called for about $8.8 billion. China’s tough stance against the virus has led to some production restrictions for supplier Foxconn as recently as this week. Before releasing its results Thursday, Apple’s stock had fallen about 11% this year, slightly outperforming the S&P 500 Index. Earnings amounted to $1.20 a share, topping the $1.16 projection.

Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:AAPL) Q3 2022 Earnings Conference Call July 28, 2022, 17:00 ET Company Participants Tejas Gala - IR Contact Timothy Cook - CEO ...

What matters to us, I think it goes back to Tim was saying earlier, is we want to make sure that people love our products and services, and we want all of them to be equally successful in the marketplace. And we did see a rebound in those same cities toward the end of the quarter in the June time frame. And in particular, in the run-up to June 18, which as you know, is a major shopping holiday in China. We think that the net of that was still a negative, but some of it did rebound by June time frame. That's a big number right there that is going to affect us, that we are having some impact from the situation in Russia and that is obviously different from normal seasonality as well. To give you a little more color on what we saw in the June quarter, we came in slightly below, from a constraint point of view, the $4 billion number that we had put, at the 4 to 8 are the low end of that range. And that's utilizing iPhone and iPad. And of course, we are in the business of innovation so we're always exploring new and emerging technologies. I just wanted to circle back on sort of the macro and sort of the demand signals that you're seeing versus sort of the supply chains that you're facing. As we move from the June to the September quarter, maybe can you dig a level deeper and kind of help us understand some of the moving pieces in the Services business? But I think the way to think about it, certainly the way we think about it is that there's a number of levers in our Services business to take into account. And then as you mentioned, the breadth and the quality of the services that we offer tends to grow over time. And if you look at the June quarter, we do believe that we saw macroeconomic headwinds that impacted our business and our results. And finally, we continue to improve the breadth and the quality of our current Services offerings, from a constant flow of new content on Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade to great new features we recently announced for iCloud and Apple Music, which we believe our customers will love.

Cowen & Co. analyst Krish Sankar also saw Apple’s commentary as indicative that “premium demand” is “resilient,” though he said he would be taking a measured approach to his own forecasting. Rakers was upbeat about Apple’s continued ability to steer through the macro storm, writing that while the company faces “considerable challenges” from foreign-exchange pressures and economic trends, its results showed “resiliency” and the company should be able to do better than the PC and smartphone markets more generally, “while also supporting shares through significant capital return.”

Better Than Expected Earnings From Apple, Amazon As Investors ... (Forbes)

The job of a market strategist is collecting as many data points as possible in an effort to understand what the market is communicating.

With some of the biggest tech names having reported earnings and offering forward looking statements that were better than feared, there’s a case to be made for optimism. Well, the S&P 500 is up nearly 3% through Thursday with the Nasdaq up nearly the same and all indications are for a strong opening. For the second quarter in a row, GDP contracted, this time at a rate of 0.9%. While two consecutive quarters of declining GDP are commonly considered a recession, technically speaking, it is up to the oracles of the NBER to make that declaration. This legislation calls for nearly $53B in spending on semiconductor manufacturing facilities aimed at improving competitiveness with China. Passage of the bill allows for construction on new domestic facilities by companies such as Intel INTC A fair question to ask at this point might be what to make of this week.

In the first quarter of 2022, Warren Buffett bought the dip in Apple stock and invested $600 million into the iPhone maker. The company said that the negative impact of the supply chain outages in the current quarter would be lower than in the previous quarter. It was the first time since 2018 when the Oracle of Omaha bought Apple stock. However, Mac revenues fell 10% YoY to $7.38 billion and fell short of the $8.70 billion that analysts were expecting. While Goldman Sachs reiterated the stock as neutral, Morgan Stanley reiterated the stock as overweight and advised investors to buy Apple stock.

Incidentally, Apple lost less than $4 billion in sales in the fiscal third quarter due to supply chain issues, which was lower than the $4-$8 billion that it had predicted. It returned $28 billion in cash to stockholders in the quarter, mostly through buybacks. iPad revenues also fell 2% YoY to $7.22 billion but were higher than the $6.94 billion that analysts were expecting. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple has refrained from providing hard revenue guidance as it used to do before the pandemic.
