Tim Cook Bagikan Memo untuk Karyawan, Terkait Wabah Coronavirus

Our paramount concern is with the people who make up Apple’s community of employees, partners, customers, and suppliers in China. I also want to recognize the many people across our teams who have been working around the clock to manage Apple’s global COVID–19 response with diligence and thoughtfulness.

Corporate offices and contact centers have reopened across China, and our stores are starting to reopen, but we are experiencing a slower return to normal conditions than we had anticipated. This afternoon, I shared this update with our community of shareholders and investors to note that we do not expect to meet the revenue guidance we provided for the March quarter. Outside of China, customer demand across our product and service categories has been strong to date and in line with our expectations. Apple is fundamentally strong, and this disruption to our business is only temporary.

Our first priority – now and always – is the health and safety of our employees, supply chain partners, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Our profound gratitude is with those on the front lines of confronting this public health emergency.

Di awal tahun 2020, Apple telah membagikan laporan pendapatan Q1 2020 beserta dengan prediksi catatan pendapata untuk Q2 2020 yang umumnya disampaikan bulan Maret.

Pada pengumuman tersebut, Apple mentargetkan rentan pendapatan Q2 2020 di $63 miliar hingga $67 miliar.

Namun dengan masalah penyebaran wabah Coronavirus, Apple mencatat bahwa mereka tidak dapat mencapai target tersebut.

Sayangnya Apple tidak menjelaskan prediksi penurunan pendapatan yang akan terjadi dari isu kesehatan ini.
