Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsofts reports record second quarter

REDMOND, Wash. — Jan. 28, 2010 — Microsoft Corp. today announced record revenue of $19.02 billion for the second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2009, a 14% increase from the same period of the prior year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $8.51 billion, $6.66 billion and $0.74 per share, which represented increases of 43%, 60% and 57%, respectively, when compared with the prior year period.

 

These financial results include the recognition of $1.71 billion of deferred revenue, an impact of $0.14 of diluted earnings per share, relating to the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program and pre-sales of Windows 7 to OEMs and retailers before general availability. Adjusting for the deferred revenue recognition, second-quarter revenue totaled $17.31 billion, and diluted earnings per share totaled $0.60 per share.

 

“Exceptional demand for Windows 7 led to the positive top-line growth for the company,” said Peter Klein, chief financial officer at Microsoft. “Our continuing commitment to managing costs allowed us to drive earnings performance ahead of the revenue growth.”

 

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 launched globally on October 22 as anticipated. Through the second quarter, Microsoft has sold over 60 million Windows 7 licenses making it the fastest selling operating system in history.

 

“This is a record quarter for Windows units,” said Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft. “We are thrilled by the consumer reception to Windows 7 and by business enthusiasm to adopt Windows 7.”

 

Business Outlook

 

Management will discuss second-quarter results and the company’s business outlook on a conference call and webcast at 2:30 p.m. PST (5:30 p.m. EST) today.

 

In addition, Microsoft offers operating expense guidance of $26.2 billion to $26.5 billion, for the full year ending June 30, 2010.

 

Webcast Details

 

Peter Klein, chief financial officer, Frank Brod, chief accounting officer, and Bill Koefoed, general manager of Investor Relations, will host a conference call and webcast at 2:30 p.m. PST (5:30 p.m. EST) today to discuss details of the company’s performance for the quarter and certain forward-looking information.

    Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

    Around the Network

    I was too lazy to read all that so I'll just say:

    That is an incredible increase in revenue. I guess Windows 7 didn't fail like I thought it would.



    Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

    Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

    Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

    I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix! 

     

    can someone break it down in terms of how much profit made in Gaming division & number of 360's shipped?



    All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

    some notes:

    • net income: $6.662 billion (+60% YoY)
    • Revenue: $19.022 billion (+14.4% YoY)
    • Income EDD: $375 million (+188% YoY)


    Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

    to darth:

    From the same quarter (Sep to Dec) of last year 2008 net income almost tripled from 130M to 375M, but revenue declined from the same period from 3.25B to 2.9B

    so Microsoft gaming division (and entertainment) made 375 million this past quarter

    Thank you :)

    Thats an excellent result no doubts.



    All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

    Entertainment and devices division $375M profit 3 months Q2 (Q4 2009 calendar), $686M 6 months Q1/Q2 (Q3/Q4 Calendar) vs 130M last year 3 months Q2 (Q4 2008) and $290M 6 months Q1/Q2 (Q3/Q4 2008).

    Essentially they made more than double what they made in each of the last two quarters than they did in the previous year. They are also likely on target to record close to $1B U.S.D. in a single financial year for the E.D.D.



    Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

    5.2 Xbox 360s sold

    Xbox Live has more than 23 million members! up 35% YoY!



    Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

    We really need more competition to OS market. There is so much air in Windows price that it is not funny.



    That's some strong growth, especially in the profit margin. It'll be interesting to see how this holds up beyond Win 7's launch window.
