Apple Announces Q3 2013 Conference Call for July 23

Apple’s third quarter earnings report and conference call will take place on July 23rd, 2013, according to an Investor Relations update on Apple’s website first noted by 9to5mac. Apple will provide a live audio webcast of the event.

Apple plans to conduct a conference call to discuss financial results of its third fiscal quarter on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET.

In the second quarter (which ended on March 30, 2013), Apple posted revenue of $43.6 billion. The company sold 19.5 million iPads, 37.4 million iPhones, and  ”just under” 4 million Macs, earning a quarterly net profit of $9.5 billion. The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $145 billion.

In April, Apple posted its guidance for the third quarter, with revenue set between $33.5 billion and $35.5 billion and operating expenses between $3.85 billion and $3.95 billion. During the quarter, Apple hit the milestone of 50 billion apps downloaded from the App Store, introduced a new low-end iPod touch, and held its annual Developers Conference in San Franisco, where it released an updated line of MacBook Airs and announced new versions of iOS and OS X coming this Fall. Apple also previewed the new Mac Pro, a completely redesigned new machine coming later this year.

In the year-ago quarter, Apple posted revenue of $35 billion, with 17 million iPads, 26 million iPhones and 4 million Macs sold. Last year, Apple held its Q3 2012 earnings call on July 24, and released OS X Mountain Lion on July 25. Apple’s Q3 2013 call will provide insight into sales of the iPhone and iPad over the past months, which lacked updates to both lines. On July 23, the iPhone 5 will reach the 305th day of its cycle, and the iPad mini its 263rd.

We will provide live updates from the conference call on our site’s homepage on July 23rd starting at 2 PM PT.
