Microsoft has released its Q4 2012 earnings report.
The company reported a record Q4 revenue of $18.06 billion, but did suffer a net loss over the last three months of $492 million.
The revenues for the Xbox 360 division were $292 million, which means a 20% increase compared to $1.7 million the prior year. For full-year 2012, the Entertainment and Devices Division grew 8%.
The growth was attributed to the addition of Skype to the division.
Also, seems that Microsoft shipped 1.1 million Xbox 360 consoles -compared to 1.7 million during Q4 of fiscal year 2011- and memberships in XBL increased 15% YOY.
So, here are some of the report Key Points:
-Microsoft Corp. today announced quarterly revenue of $18.06 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Operating income and loss per share for the quarter were $192 million and $0.06 per share.
-The financial results reflect the previously announced non-cash, non-tax-deductible income statement charge of $6.19 billion for the impairment of goodwill and the deferral of $540 million of revenue related to the Windows Upgrade Offer. Adjusting for these items, non-GAAP fourth quarter revenue, operating income, and earnings per share were $18.60 billion, $6.93 billion, and $0.73 per share, which represented increases of 7%, 12%, and 6%, respectively, over the prior year period.
-For Microsoft’s fiscal year 2012, the company’s revenue, operating income, and earnings per share were $73.72 billion, $21.76 billion, and $2.00 per share. Adjusting for the goodwill impairment charge and deferred revenue, non-GAAP fiscal year 2012 revenue, operating income, and earnings per share were $74.26 billion, $28.50 billion, and $2.78 per share
-The Entertainment and Devices Division revenue grew 20% for the fourth quarter and 8% for the full year primarily reflecting the addition of Skype. Xbox has now been the top-selling console in the U.S. for 18 consecutive months. During the year, Xbox launched new television and video partnerships for Xbox LIVE, and announced Xbox SmartGlass, which connects phones, PCs, and tablets with the Xbox 360 console to enable more interactive and engaging entertainment.
