Apple has reclaimed the majority of the $2.2 billion in tariffs it paid to the U.S. government, contributing minimally to its Q4 results. This refund was made possible when the Supreme Court halted reciprocal tariffs in February. The company reported a 47.9% gross margin for Q4, which included an additional 1% boost from the tariff refunds.
Apple's diluted earnings per share also saw a slight increase of approximately $0.05, partially due to these refunds. While the exact percentage of the refunds is unclear, estimates suggest they totaled around a billion dollars. CFO Kevan Parekh stated during a conference call with analysts that the vast majority of the refunds have been returned to Apple. However, there may be some more refunds coming, though not at the billion-dollar level.
