The company generated revenues of $806.4 million, up 9.4% year over year or 10.2% on a constant-currency (cc) basis. The reported figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $798 million.

Domains: The company generated revenues of $369.6 million (accounting for 46% of total revenues) from this segment. The figure improved 10.5% from the year-ago quarter on higher average selling price. The increase was driven by strong renewals and registrations.
Hosting and Presence: This segment generated revenues of $292.2 million (36% of revenues), increasing 4.4% on a year-over-year basis.

Business Applications: Revenues from this segment came in at $144.6 million (18% of revenues), increasing 17.6% year over year. The increase was driven by strong workspace renewals.
