Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Apple Concludes Best Quarter & Best Year in Company History
CUPERTINO, CaliforniaOctober 11, 2005Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2005 fourth quarter ended September 24, 2005, reporting the highest revenue and earnings in the Companys history. Apple posted revenue of $3.68 billion and a net quarterly profit of $430 million, or $.50 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $2.35 billion and a net profit of $106 million, or $.13 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 28.1 percent, up from 27.0 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 40 percent of the quarters revenue.
Earnings per share benefited by $.12 from several tax items related to net deferred tax assets, tax reserves, and a revision to the full year tax rate estimated in prior quarters.
Apple shipped 1,236,000 Macintosh® units and 6,451,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 48 percent growth in Macs and 220 percent growth in iPods over the year-ago quarter.
For fiscal 2005, the Company generated revenue of $13.93 billion and a net profit of $1.335 billion, reflecting annual growth of 68 percent and 384 percent, respectively, and representing the highest annual revenue and net profit in the Companys history.
Were thrilled to have concluded the best year in Apples history, with 68 percent year-over-year revenue growth and 384 percent net profit growth, said Steve Jobs, Apples CEO. This is the direct result of our focus on innovation and the immense talent and creativity at Apple. We could not be more excited about the new products were working on for 2006.
Were very pleased to report 48 percent year-over-year growth in Mac shipments in Q4, as well as our 10th consecutive quarter of record iPod sales, said Peter Oppenheimer, Apples CFO. Looking ahead to the first quarter of fiscal 2006 which will span 14 weeks, we expect revenue of about $4.7 billion. We expect GAAP earnings per diluted share of about $.46, including an estimated $.03 per share expense impact from non-cash share-based compensation, translating to non-GAAP EPS of about $.49.
Apple will provide live streaming of its Q4 2005 financial results conference call utilizing QuickTime, Apples standards-based technology for live and on-demand audio and video streaming. The live webcast will begin at 2:00 p.m. PDT on Tuesday October 11, 2005 at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/earningsq405/ and will also be available for replay.

This press release contains forward-looking statements about the Companys estimated revenue and earnings as well as the estimated expense impact of adoption of SFAS 123R for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. These statements involve risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ. Potential risks and uncertainties include continued competitive pressures in the marketplace; the effect competitive and economic factors and the Companys reaction to them may have on consumer and business buying decisions with respect to the Companys products; the ability of the Company to make timely delivery of new programs, products and successful technological innovations to the marketplace; the continued availability on acceptable terms of certain components and services essential to the Companys business currently obtained by the Company from sole or limited sources including G4 and G5 microprocessors; possible disruption in commercial activities caused by terrorist activity and armed conflict, such as changes in logistics and security arrangements, and reduced end-user purchases relative to expectations; possible disruption in commercial activity as a result of natural disasters or major health concerns including epidemics; risks associated with the Companys retail initiative including significant investment cost, uncertain consumer acceptance and potential impact on existing reseller relationships; the effect that the Companys dependency on manufacturing and logistics services provided by third parties may have on the quality, quantity or cost of products manufactured or services rendered; the Companys reliance on the availability of third-party music content; the ability of the Company to successfully evolve its operating system; the ability of the Company to make timely delivery of new products with Intel microprocessors and related hardware and software technological changes and innovations to support Intel microprocessors; the development and availability on acceptable terms of components and services essential to enable the Company to deliver products based on Intel microprocessors in a timely manner; the Companys dependency on third-party software developers to timely develop future applications that support Intel microprocessors and Power PC microprocessors; and the potential negative impact the transition of all Macs to Intel microprocessors by the end of 2007, or the announcement of such transition, might have on sales of current or future Mac products with Power PC processors. More information on potential factors that could affect the Companys financial results is included from time to time in the Companys public reports filed with the SEC, including the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2004, the Companys Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 25, 2004, the Companys Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 26, 2005, and the Companys Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 25, 2005.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the Companys GAAP results of operations to its non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of results excluding items such as non-cash share-based compensation, restructuring costs, and investment gains provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Companys core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Companys GAAP results. Neither the Companys GAAP nor non-GAAP results of operations include the accounting impact had the Company chosen to apply the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 or SFAS No. 123 revised (123R) to expense share-based compensation, the impact of which is disclosed in the Companys Forms 10-Q and 10-K as filed with the SEC. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R in its first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2005.
(b) This adjustment reflects the non-cash compensation expense related primarily to restricted stock awarded to the Companys CEO in fiscal 2003 and restricted stock units awarded to members of the Companys senior management team in fiscal 2004 and 2005. Of the total non-cash compensation expense of $11 million, $1 million is included in cost of sales; $2 million is included in research and development expense; and $8 million is included in selling, general and administrative expense. Note that neither the Companys GAAP nor non-GAAP results of operations includes the accounting impact had the Company chosen to apply the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R.
(c) This adjustment includes $5 million related to restructuring actions initiated during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 as well as $11 million related to non-cash compensation expense primarily attributable to restricted stock awarded to the Companys CEO and restricted stock units awarded to members of the Companys senior management team. Of the total non-cash compensation expense of $11 million, $1 million is included in cost of sales; $2 million is included in research and development expense; and $8 million is included in selling, general and administrative expense.
(d) Amount reflects the expected tax impact on the above noted non-GAAP adjustments.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the Companys GAAP to its non-GAAP financial guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company believes that excluding items such as non-cash share-based compensation provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Companys core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Companys GAAP results.
(b) This adjustment reflects the expected non-cash compensation expense attributable to share-based compensation awards including restricted stock and restricted stock units, employee stock options and shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan. This amount reflects the total estimated expense of non-cash share-based compensation subsequent to the application of SFAS 123 revised (123R), which the Company will adopt in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
(c) Amount reflects the expected tax impact on the above noted non-GAAP adjustments.
(d) This adjustment represents the expected net of tax impact on earnings per share from the non-GAAP adjustments related to share-based compensation expense.
