Gross profit was USD632.2 million, an increase of 12.3% quarter-on-quarter or an increase of 43.0% year-on-year. Gross margin decreased to 65.4% from 66.8% last quarter.
Operating profit was USD516.5 million, an increase of 27.7% quarter-on-quarter or an increase of 57.6% year-on-year. Profit for the period was USD439.9 million, an increase of 30.3% quarter-on-quarter or an increase of 60.0% year-on-year. Net margin increased to 45.5% from 40.1% last quarter.
Revenues from the company’s Internet value-added services were USD800.9 million, an increase of 19.8% quarter-on-quarter or an increase of 55.0% year-on-year. Revenues from mobile and telecommunications value-added services were USD118.6 million, an increase of 6.8% quarter-on-quarter or an increase of 25.8% year-on-year.
However, revenues from online advertising were USD42.8 million, a decrease of 27.6% quarter-on-quarter or an increase of 37.5% year-on-year. The company says this primarily reflected weaker seasonality due to reduced activities of advertisers around the Chinese New Year holidays.
