Nokia wasn’t the only one who posted its quarter earnings as Microsoft also showed what it has been doing in the past three months. MSFT reported a record $19.02 billion in Q2 2010 which ended on December 31st, 2009. Microsoft’s financial year ends on June 30th, 2010, but it’s a long way to go until then so let’s review that Steve Ballmer’s company did in the most recent ended quarter. The record $19.02bn in revenue is up 14% from last year, while operating income stands at $8.51 billion up 43% from Q2 2009.
Microsoft’s net income was of $6.66 billion up 60% (see? I knew Ballmer was the devil), and share was $.74 which is up 57% from last year. The Redmond-based company also revealed $1.71 billion of deferred revenue and an $26.2 billion operating expense, the former for Q2 2010, the latter for the full year.
Peter Klein, Microsoft CFO, said that most of the money came from Windows 7, the “fastest selling OS in history.” Klein said that MSFT shipped more than 60 million licenses for Windows 7 regular consumers as well as businesses who trusted the company even if Vista failed badly.
Well, consumers adopted Windows 7 because its good. Microsoft has put a lot of effort in Windows 7, but I cannot not say that Redmond has ignored the mobile division. Windows Mobile 6.5? Come on… Let’s just hope that the company is concentrating on Windows Mobile 7 from now on.
Steve Ballmer Should Be Happy For Record Microsoft Revenue
