Apple has now officially opened its books and announced results for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 (first calendar quarter of 2023).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple has now opened the books and published the results for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 (first calendar quarter of 2023). Side note: Apple's fiscal year starts on October 1st and ends on September 30th. Apple did not announce a sales forecast at the last quarterly earnings conference either, as the company was unable to provide a realistic estimate due to the ongoing crisis. Apple posted sales of $97.28 billion and net income of $24.1 billion, or $1.52 per share, in the last quarter, compared to sales of $97.3 billion and net income of $25 billion, or $1.52 per share, in the same quarter last year. Apple boss Tim Cook said: follows<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We are pleased that, despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, we achieved new records for service revenue and iPhone shipments in March, and that our installed base of active devices reached a new all-time high. We continue to invest for the long term and are guided by our values, including making strong progress in developing carbon-neutral products and supply chains by 2030.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Apple Q2\/2023: Exceeds expectations despite difficult environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Apple\u2019s CFO, Luca Maestri, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our financial results improved compared to the December quarter, we generated strong operating cash flow of $28.6 billion and returned more than $23 billion to our shareholders. Given our confidence in Apple's future and the value we see in our stock, our board of directors has authorized an additional $90 billion in share repurchases. We are also increasing our quarterly dividend for the eleventh consecutive year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gross margin for the quarter was 44.3 percent, compared to 43.7 percent in the same quarter last year. Apple's board also approved an additional $90 billion for share buybacks and approved an increased dividend payment of $0.24 per share (previously $0.23 per share). The dividend will be paid on May 18 to shareholders of record on May 15. (Photo by Bigc Studio \/ Bigstockphoto)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
