Microsoft recently posted their Q2 2012 financial results.
For Q2, ended December 31, Microsoft revenue was $20.89 billion, up 5 percent year over year. Operating income: $7.99 billion, a 2 percent decrease. Net income was $6.62 billion.
Specifically regards Lync and Skype, from the Earnings call:
“We continued to see strong growth in our productivity solution offerings. Lync, SharePoint and Exchange each grew double digits. We’ve previously shared with you the opportunity that we see for unified communications, and we are beginning to realize that potential. Lync revenue grew over 30% as customers such as Volkswagen and LA Fitness chose Microsoft to be their voice and video solution.”
“During the quarter, we started the integration of Skype’s world-class communication products and global-networked platform into our portfolio of products and services. While it is still early, we are excited by the momentum we have seen thus far, and by the opportunities to redefine social and real-time communications for consumers and businesses around the world.”
They also said they now have 100,000 businesses on Office 365.
