SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – EBay Inc reported better-than-expected quarterly results on Wednesday as the company's main online Marketplace business showed signs of a turnaround and its PayPal unit continued to grow quickly.
EBay said second-quarter net income was $283.4 million, or 22 cents per share. That compares to net income of $412 million, or 31 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier.
The decline in earnings was mainly driven by costs from eBay's acquisition of GSI Commerce earlier this year.
Excluding those costs, stock-based compensation expenses and other items, profit was $630.9 million, or 48 cents per share, versus $530 million, or 40 cents per share, a year earlier.
Both the profit and revenue beat expectations.
EBay was expected to make 46 cents per share, according to a survey of analysts by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Those estimates exclude stock-based compensation expenses and other items.
Revenue in the latest period was $2.8 billion, up 25 percent from the second quarter of 2010.
Second-quarter revenue was expected to be $2.607 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
