Microsoft: sales down but profits up – DigitalVersus

Microsoft released on Tuesday, the results of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2016. As usual, the cloud that made locomotive office over the period, while that sales of smartphones have increased their trajectory to the least disturbing.
in the three months ended June 30, Microsoft generated revenue (GAAP) of 20.614 billion dollars , down 7% on the year. Operating income, meanwhile, could reach 6.218 billion, but it was necessary to take into account significant adjustments in respect of uncollected revenue associated with Windows 10 ($ 2 billion) and restructuring charges (1 billion). Officially, it is set to 3.080 billion dollars (GAAP), knowing that the figure was -2.053 billion a year earlier. As for net income, it reached 3.122 billion dollars, where it was -3.195 billion in the same period in 2015. Recall that Microsoft had included more than 8 billion just loads before concluding its fiscal year 2015, which explains these negative data.
Concerning the breakdown of turnover once again we see that it is the division Personal Computing More which represents the bulk of the firm’s activities. The months of April, May and June, she cashed $ 8.9 billion, representing a decline of 4% over the year. Notably, she took advantage of a Windows recovery of sales to OEMs (27% for consumer versions and 2% for drafts for businesses), good form of the Surface range (+ 9% ) of the increase in advertising revenues (+ 16%) and Xbox Live dynamic usual (49 million members 33% year on year). But you will understand, a pretty dead weight has nonetheless led the balance down. This smartphone sales. They stumbled 71% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015.

The division Productivity and Business Processes , meanwhile, was up $ 7 billion in three months . This represents an increase of 5% over the year. Not surprisingly, the driver of this growth is called Office 365, whose sales grew by 54% among professionals since last summer. The public, too, is turning increasingly to the following Microsoft cloud (23.1 million subscribers, 19% finance side). As for stamped Dynamics solutions, they have kept pace with revenues up 6% over the year.

division Intelligent Cloud , finally, did not depart from his habits. Propelled by the unstoppable dynamic of Azure (+102%) and well helped by products and services for servers and cloud to stable growth (+ 5%), it has received during the quarter whopping $ 6.7 billion (+ 7% over the year and 10% at constant currency).

of course, that said fourth quarter of the year, says annual report. In all, over its fiscal year 2016, Microsoft achieved a turnover (GAAP) of $ 85.3 billion, and derived an operating profit of 20.2 billion. Rather effective to the multiple waves of restructuring undertaken in recent months, the giant managed to turn these results in a net profit of $ 16.8 billion. For shareholders, this resulted in $ 2.10 per title, knowing that in the fourth quarter, the firm – as in the previous quarter – donated 6.4 billion through dividends and share repurchases of shares.
