Apple to Release Q3 2009 Financial Results on July 21st
Apple today issued a media alert announcing details for the July 21st release of its financial results for the third fiscal quarter and second calendar quarter of 2009. The results will cover sales from March 28th, 2009 through June 26th, 2009, and will be released at the close of trading (4:00 PM Eastern / 1:00 PM Pacific) on Tuesday. Apple's conference call discussing the results will follow at 2:00 PM Pacific and will be available via a live audio webcast. MacRumors will provide running coverage of the conference call highlights.
Apple's primary product releases for the period occurred late in the quarter, with a revamping of its MacBook Pro line and an update to the MacBook Air taking place at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in early June and the new iPhone 3GS launching just a week before the end of the quarter. Apple also offered a minor bump to the white MacBook just prior to WWDC, where it became the sole member of that line with the 13" aluminum MacBook's rebranding as a MacBook Pro.
For the quarter, analysts are predicting net earnings of $1.16 per share on revenue of $8.16 billion, above Apple's guidance of $0.95-$1.00 profit on $7.7-$7.9 billion of revenue. Apple's year-ago results for the third fiscal quarter of 2008 included net earnings of $1.19 per share on revenue of $7.46 billion. Research firms Gartner and IDC earlier this week offered conflicting pictures on Apple's Mac shipments for the quarter as part of their industrywide analyses.

I think the updated Macbook Pros may have helped boost Apple's profits.
If the recession hadn't hit I wonder if Apple would have responded to calls for FireWire on the 13" and the rumoured matte screens?

Yeah, they will help for sure. There is a shortage of 13 inch MacBooks right now. Its takes 7-10 business days. I was lucky to have one ordered from Canada just in time to have it brought to India tomorrow with my relatives.
Going Mac from tomorrow - and will never go back... :D :apple:

Don't you mean the Q2 financial reports?
No, Financial quarters do not necessarily start at the beginning of the year or relate to normal calendar dates.

Financial quarters can also differ from company to company and country to country. ;)

Yeah, those 13" MBPs sure are a hot ticket. The return of firewire and future matte screen options have/will make the purchase a very hot item. Hey Apple ... see what happens when you actually sell your customers what they want? :eek:
Surely Q3 results will be nothing but great news for Apple and its shareholders. Q4 results will also be amazing - since they will have announced, sold a butt-ton of, and reaped the benefits of sales from their iTablet or Netbook Mini. ;p

That too. There is not set date in stone on when financial quarters must happen. They just have to make sure they comply with the federal and state tax laws.
