Facebook recorded another quarter of good results. Between April and June this year, the company recorded net income of US$ 3,89 billion, up 71% from the US$ 2,28 billion in the same period in 2016. The numbers are good, even so, the growth was a little weaker than in the previous quarter.
The company reached this amount because it managed to move US$ 9,32 billion in the second quarter. The value mentioned is 45% more than last year's US$ 6,43 billion. However, spending also ended up increasing, from $3,7 billion in 2016 to $4,92 billion in 2017 (33% up).
Thus, operating profit was US$ 4,4 billion, that is, 61% above the US$ 2,73 billion last year, and net income, at US$ 3,89 billion.
Mark Zuckerberg's social network, just with ads, raised US$ 9,16 billion between April and June 2017, compared to 47% less in the previous year.
Mobile advertising remains the company's biggest source of money. The sector, which represented 84% of advertising revenue in the second quarter of 2016, had an 87% increase in its share this year.
As far as the number of users is concerned, they have also increased. Daily active users reached 1,32 billion and monthly active users reached 2,01 billion. Both marked highs of 17% in the period of one year.
To complete the company's good results, secondary platforms, such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, showed positive results. WhatsApp, for example, reached 1 billion daily active users.
