The Silicon Valley company, which is undergoing a chief executive transition, also reported a 19 percent increase in profit.
Total profit for the fiscal year was $120 billion, the company said. Three years ago, it was just $4.4 billion.
The company said on Wednesday that revenue in the most recent quarter was $81.3 billion, but its share price dropped more than 5 percent in after-hours trading.
