Summary
Apple Inc. reported total net sales of $82.96 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, a 2% increase year-over-year, driven by growth in Services and iPhone sales. However, this growth was partially offset by declines in Mac and Wearables, Home, and Accessories segments. The company noted an unfavorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar across all product and service categories. Net income for the quarter was $19.44 billion, down from $21.74 billion in the prior year's comparable quarter, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.20 compared to $1.30. Despite the decrease in net income, Apple continued its aggressive capital return program, repurchasing $21.7 billion of its common stock and paying $3.8 billion in dividends during the quarter. The company maintains a strong liquidity position, with $27.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $20.7 billion in current marketable securities as of June 25, 2022.
