SAN FRANCISCO, April 19 (Reuters) – Google Inc. reported on Thursday its quarterly net profit rose 69 percent, topping expectations, driven by market share gains in its Web search business, sending its stock up 2.8 percent after-hours.
Net income rose to $1.0 billion, or $3.18 per diluted share, from the year-earlier quarter’s $592 million, or $1.95 a share. Excluding stock-option expenses, profit was $3.68 per share versus $2.29 a year before.
Gross revenue rose 63 percent to $3.66 billion, including traffic acquisition costs of $1.13 billion paid out to affiliated Web sites that act as billboards for Google ads.
