`
`Fiscal Year 2010 versus 2009
`
`Net sales during 2010 increased $22.3 billion or 52% compared to 2009. Several factors contributed positively to this increase,
`including the following:
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`Net sales of iPhone and related products and services were $25.2 billion in 2010 representing an increase of $12.1
`billion or 93% compared to 2009. iPhone unit sales totaled 40 million in 2010, which represents an increase of
`19.3 million or 93% compared to 2009.
`iPhone year-over-year growth was attributable primarily to continued
`growth from existing carriers, expanded distribution with new international carriers and resellers, and strong demand
`for iPhone 4, which was released in the US. in June 2010 and in many other countries over the remainder of 2010.
`As of September 25, 2010, the Company distributed iPhone in 89 countries through 166 carriers. Net sales of iPhone
`and related products and services accounted for 39% of the Company’ 5 total net sales for 2010 compared to 30% in
`2009.
`
`Net sales of iPad and related products and services were $5.0 billion and unit sales of iPad were 7.5 million during
`2010. iPad was released in the US. in April 2010 and in various other countries over the remainder of 2010. As of
`September 25, 2010, the Company distributed iPad in 26 countries. The Company distributes iPad through its direct
`channels, certain cellular network carriers’ distribution channels and certain third-party resellers. Net sales of iPad
`and related products and services accounted for 8% of the Company’ s total net sales for 2010, reflecting the strong
`demand for iPad during the five months following its release.
`
`Mac net sales increased by $3.6 billion or 26% in 2010 compared to 2009, and Mac unit sales increased by
`3.3 million or 31% in 2010 compared to 2009. Net sales per Mac unit sold decreased by 4% in 2010 compared to
`2009 due primarily to lower average selling prices of Mac portable systems. During 2010, net sales and unit sales of
`the Company’s Mac portable systems increased by 18% and 25%, respectively, primarily attributable to strong
`demand for MacBook Pro, which was updated in April 2010. Net sales and unit sales of the Company’s Mac
`desktop systems increased by 43% and 45%, respectively, as a result of higher sales of iMac, which was updated in
`July 2010. Net sales of the Company’s Macs accounted for 27% of the Company’ s total net sales in 2010 compared
`to 32% in 2009.
`
`Net sales of other music related products and services increased $912 million or 23% during 2010 compared to
`2009. This increase was due primarily to growth of the iTunes Store which generated total net sales of $4.1 billion
`for 2010. The results of the iTunes Store reflect growth of the iTunes App Store, continued growth in the installed
`base of iPhone, iPad, and iPod customers, and the expansion of third-party audio and video content available for sale
`and rent via the iTunes Store. The Company continues to expand its iTunes content and applications offerings
`around the world. Net sales of other music related products and services accounted for 8% of the Company’s total
`net sales for 2010 compared to 9% in 2009.
`
`Net sales of iPods increased $183 million or 2% during 2010, while iPod unit sales declined by 7% during 2010
`compared to 2009. Net sales per iPod unit sold increased by 10% to $164 in 2010 compared to 2009, due to a shift in
`product mix toward iPod touch.
`iPod touch experienced strong growth in each of the Company’s reportable
`operating segments. Net sales of iPods accounted for 13% of the Company’s total net sales for 2010 compared to
`19% in 2009.
`
`Segment Operating Performance
`
`The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of
`the Americas, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific and Retail operations. The results of the Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific
`reportable segments do not include the results of the Retail segment. The Americas segment includes both North and South
`America. The Europe segment includes European countries, as well as the Middle East and Africa. The Asia-Pacific segment
`includes Australia and Asian
