Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.80, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.44 and double the year-ago earnings. Revenues increased 11% year over year to $18.69 billion and edged past the estimated $17.29 billion. Notably, advertising revenues spiked 10% year over year to $18.32 billion.
