Alphabet today announced Q1 2019 earnings to start the new year with revenue of $36.33 billion. It notably takes into account the $1.7 billion fine levied by the European Commission over Google AdSense violations. These numbers range from January to March, and did not meet analysis expectations with the stock down over 4% in after-hours trading.
Revenue is up 17% from $31.1 billion in Q1 2018, with net income at $6.6 billion for this quarter. For comparison, Alphabet reported $39.27 billion in revenue and a $8.94 billion in net income last quarter. Analyst for Q1 2019 were expecting $37.33B in revenue, leading to the current after-hours drop.
“We delivered robust growth led by mobile search, YouTube, and Cloud with Alphabet revenues of $36.3 billion, up 17% versus last year, or 19% on a constant currency basis,” said Ruth Porat, Chief Financial Officer of Alphabet and Google. “We remain focused on, and excited by, the significant growth opportunities across our businesses.”
Other revenue — which includes hardware, Play Store, and Google Cloud enterprise efforts — reported $5.4 billion, compared to $4.3 billion the same quarter last year.
The much-analyzed “Other Bets” continues to lose money, but is slowly increasing revenue. It reported $170 million revenue primarily generated by Verily and Fiber, with operating loss down to $868 million from $1.3 billion in the previous quarter.
