蘋果(Apple)日前公布了其2011財務(wù)年度第一季的業(yè)績報告，當季銷售額達到創(chuàng)新高紀錄的2,674萬美元，季成長32%、年成長70%；而在財報發(fā)表的前一天，該公司才宣布執(zhí)行長 Steve Jobs 再度請病假、且期間未定的消息。 Jobs在過去的24個月以來已經(jīng)是第二次請病假，而且蘋果都不愿透露他的健康狀況以及回公司上班的預(yù)期時間表；在2009年，Jobs的病假請了六個月，他請假期間由蘋果營運長Tim Cook代理其職務(wù)。 但蘋果的第一季業(yè)績表現(xiàn)仍遠超過分析師的預(yù)期，該公司財務(wù)長Peter Oppenheimer表示：“我們的Mac、 iPad 與 iPhone 產(chǎn)品銷售表現(xiàn)，超越公司史上的所有季銷售紀錄?！碑敿緄Phone銷售量達到1,624萬支，較去年同期成長86%；Mac計算機銷售量則年成長23%，但iPod銷售量則較去年同期減少了7%，來到1,945萬臺。 此外 iPad 銷售量在第一季達到733萬臺，較上一季增加了419萬臺；Cook表示，蘋果在第一季大幅提升了iPad產(chǎn)能，以因應(yīng)市場上對平板裝置的大量需求，也讓 iPad 進軍更多新的區(qū)域市場。但他表示， iPhone 4 訂單的交貨仍有顯著落后情況。 Cook表示：“我們正在盡力趕貨；需求量如此大的情況令人滿意，但此刻我仍無法預(yù)測何時能達到供需平衡。”O(jiān)ppenheimer則表示：“iPhone的需求量是讓人難以置信的龐大，我們在這一季恐怕還是無法滿足?！? 此外Cook也透露，蘋果已經(jīng)與供貨商達成了為期兩年、總價值39億美元的長期供應(yīng)協(xié)議，但他不愿公布這些供貨商的名稱，或是供應(yīng)的內(nèi)容；Cook并以2005年蘋果與多家NAND閃存供貨商所簽訂的協(xié)議為例，表示這種策略能協(xié)助該公司維持產(chǎn)品所需的閃存穩(wěn)定供應(yīng)。 蘋果財報并顯示，截止于2010年12月25日的2011財務(wù)年度第一季，該公司毛利率達到38.5%，較去年同期的40.9%下滑；而該公司來自國際市場的銷售業(yè)績，占據(jù)了當季營收的62%。 編譯： Judith Cheng 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載！ (參考原文： Apple posts record sales, profit，by Dylan McGrath)

{pagination} Apple posts record sales, profit Dylan McGrath Apple Inc. Tuesday (Jan. 18) reported record revenue and profit for its first quarter of fiscal 2011, one day after the company announced that CEO Steve Jobs was taking medical leave for an undefined time period. Apple (Cupertino, Calif.) reported sales of $26.74 billion, up 32 percent from the previous quarter and up 70 percent from the year-ago quarter. Apple reported a net income for the quarter of $6 billion, or $6.53 per share, up 40 percent compared to the previous quarter and up 47 percent compared to the year ago quarter. On Monday, Apple announced that Jobs was taking his second medical leave in the past 24 months. The company did not reveal the specifics of Jobs' medical condition or provide a timetable for his expected return. As he did when Jobs went on a six month medical leave in 2009, Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, will oversee Apple's day-to-day operations in Jobs' absence. Apple's quarterly results easily exceeded consensus analysts' expectations, which called for sales of $24.4 billion and net income of $5.38 per share, according to Yahoo Finance. "We sold more Macs, iPads and iPods than in any other quarter of the company's history," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's chief financial officer. Sales of iPhones shot to 16.24 million units, Apple said, up 86 percent from the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The company said it sold 4.13 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, up 23 percent from the year-ago quarter. But sales of iPods declined to 19.45 million, down 7 percent from the year ago quarter. Apple said it sold 7.33 million iPads during the fiscal first quarter, up from 4.19 million during the previous quarter. Cook said Apple was able to increase iPad production dramatically during the quarter, helping the company to meet the enormous demand for the tablet and allow Apple to being offering iPad in several new countries. But Cook said Apple still has a significant backlog of orders for iPhone 4. "We are working around the clock to build more," Cook said. "I feel great that the demand is so high, but at this point I'm not going to predict when supply and demand will meet." "Demand for iPhones has just been incredible," Oppenheimer said. "We could not make enough during the quarter." Cook also revealed that Apple struck long-term agreements with suppliers worth $3.9 billion over two years. He declined to name the suppliers or even to say what they will be supplying to Apple. Cook likened the agreements to Apple's 2005 deals with NAND flash suppliers which helped the company maintain a steady supply of NAND for its products. Apple said its gross margin for the fiscal first quarter, which closed on Dec. 25, was 38.5 percent, down from 40.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 62 percent of the quarter's revenue, Apple said.
