Apple’s newly published results put September-quarter revenue 12 percent above a year earlier. The report also identifies tariff refunds that helped margins and earnings per share — a useful detail alongside the headline records.

A new report on a completed quarter

Apple published its fiscal fourth-quarter results on 2 November. Revenue reached $114.5 billion, a 12 percent increase from the equivalent period a year earlier. The company describes that as a record for its September quarter, with iPhone also setting a September-quarter record and Services reaching a new high.

The detail behind the earnings figure

Diluted earnings per share were $2.10, up 14 percent year on year. Apple says that figure includes a $0.05 benefit from tariff refunds. It also reports a gross margin of 47.9 percent, with approximately one percentage point of that coming from the refunds.

Keep the period in perspective

These numbers describe a quarter that ended in September, rather than sales in November. The release pairs the results with management’s comments about its newer hardware and holiday lineup. Those product comments are forward-looking context; they do not establish how the upcoming selling season will perform.
