Vista drives sales at MicrosoftSoftware giant tops $50bn in annual revenue for the first time
Software giant Microsoft has reported annual sales of more than $50bn for the first time on the back of strong demand for new products such as Windows Vista.
The supplier says sales rose 15 per cent to $51bn (£25bn), while profits have also increased, up from $12bn (£5.8bn) to $14bn (£6.8bn).
The strong results have come despite costs stemming from repairs to its Xbox 360 computer console. Microsoft is facing a bill of more than $1bn (£487m) to cover the cost of offering extended warranties to console owners.
Sales were driven primarily by consumer purchases of new flagship products Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007, says chief operating officer Kevin Turner.
‘Surpassing $50bn in annual sales is a testament to the innovation and value that our product groups delivered into the marketplace,’ he said.
‘In 2008, we will continue to drive growth through new product offerings, such as Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008, Microsoft Dynamics Live CRM and Office PerformancePoint Server 2007.’
Sales for the fourth quarter increased 13 per cent to $13.4bn (£6.5bn) while profits were up 11 per cent to $3bn (£1.5bn).
Microsoft expects to generate $12.6bn (£6.1bn) next quarter and $57.8bn (£28.2) for the next year.
