Facebook Q3 Earnings Report Shows A growth in Both Users and Revenue

Facebook has published its latest earnings report of 2018 “Q3 2018 earnings report”, that shows how recent efforts have been remarkably successful with a great growth in both users and revenue.

According to the Facebook Q3 2018 earnings report, the company’s daily active users’ number has increased by 24 million, which means that the total number of Facebook daily active users raised to 1.495 billion people who are logging to the platform every day.

Despite this growth in daily active users is considered to be a good achievement for the company but there is one disappointing result that European DAU numbers dropped for the second consecutive quarter, while North American usage remained flat. And it should be noted that European and North American are considered to be the Facebook’s main markets, where it can generate the vast majority of its income. Otherwise, the report shows that Facebook also managed to achieve expanded growth in other regions, however, the decline in usage in the core markets.

On the revenue front, Facebook Q3 earnings report shows that the company generated the 13.73b for the quarter, compared to market estimates of $13.78b. This is considered to be a small trend that only down (slightly) on market estimates. And it mentions that Facebook is generating more revenue per user in most regions – so even if you were to take the slowdown in overall usage in Europe and North America into account, much of that would be offset, in a revenue sense, by Facebook finding ways to generate more income from its audience.
