Facebook released some good earnings figures yesterday in spite it numerous investments like the new data centre, internet.org programs among others. The social media giant posted an 11% increase in its third-quarter earnings. The full earning report was made public yesterday but the most important thing you need to know is that Facebook’s “aggressive” ad sales push is working. They recorded a revenue of $4.5b/896b Naira/459KES in the third quarter of this year alone.

“Third Quarter 2015 Other Financial Highlights

  • Mobile advertising revenue– Mobile advertising revenue represented approximately 78% of advertising revenue for the third quarter of 2015, up from 66% of advertising revenue in the third quarter of 2014.
  • Capital expenditures– Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2015 were $780 million.
  • Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities– Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $15.83 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2015.
  • Free cash flow– Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2015 was $1.41 billion.”

The news really got investors excited obviously because as of this afternoon, Facebook now had a market value bigger than General Electric. It is now worth $306b/60.9tr Naira/31.2tr KES   by Market capitalisation. The figure is up from the $250b value it was reportedly worth in just July.
