The Chinese e-commerce company said that it had $0.50 in earnings per share (EPS) and $28.5 billion in revenue, while consensus estimates had called for $0.38 in EPS and $27.45 billion in revenue. The second quarter of last year reportedly had EPS of $0.32 and revenue of $21.47 billion.

During the most recent quarter, total revenues increased 33.8% year over year. This consisted of net revenues from the sales of general merchandise products increasing 45.4% to $9.1 billion and net service revenues increasing 36.4% to $3.2 billion.
