Apple Reports Record 1Q 2022 Results: $34.6B Profit on $123.9B Revenue [Live Coverage]

The financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2020 correspond to the fourth calendar quarter of 2021.

The year-ago quarter's gross margin was 39.8%. The quarterly dividend of Apple will be paid on February 10 to shareholders of record as of February 7.

“This quarter’s record results were made possible by our most innovative lineup of products and services ever,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We are gratified to see the response from customers around the world at a time when staying connected has never been more important. We are doing all we can to help build a better world — making progress toward our goal of becoming carbon neutral across our supply chain and products by 2030, and pushing forward with our work in education and racial equity and justice.”

For the past year, Apple has not issued guidance for the current quarter, which ends in March.
