14 DAY TRIAL // In a note published to its Investor Relations site, Apple has confirmed the schedule for its upcoming quarterly earnings call for fiscal year 2011.
In the Investor News section, the company headquartered at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California, announced, “Apple plans to conduct a conference call to discuss financial results of its fourth fiscal quarter on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. PT.”
Those looking to learn more about the conference, such as how to attend, are directed to the usual QuickTime page where the company run by Tim Cook outlines the schedule again, confirming it will be a “conference call webcast with the purpose of discussing Q4 - 2011 financial results.
Apple also cautions future attendees to “Please note that comments made during this call may include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements.”
The company directs those looking for more information on the factors that could influence results to Apple’s SEC filings.
Finally, it is also noted that attendees will require QuickTime to listen to the conference call webcast discussing the financial results for Apple’s fourth fiscal quarter for 2011.
“To attend the conference call, QuickTime is required. Be prepared - Get QuickTime now,” Apple states.
Notably, Apple this quarter released an upgraded version of its MacBook Air computers, alongside some beefed up Mac minis and a new Thunderbolt Display.
The Q4 figures may expressly mention sales of the ultra thin notebooks, whereas the Mac mini and other desktop and portable Macs will most likely be mentioned as a bulk of Mac units sold.
iPod sales have been on a declining path for quite some time now, and although that doesn’t necessarily spell bad news for Apple (as many choose an iPhone simply because it’s also an iPod), the number of units shipped is expected to be even lower than last year’s Q4.
