eBay reported its third-quarter financial performance today, including revenue of $3.9 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.64. The company’s revenue was up 14 percent from the same quarter last year, while its earnings per share rose 17 percent. Analysts had expected eBay to earn $0.63 per share (non-GAAP) on revenue of $3.9 billion.In its most recent sequential quarter, eBay had revenue of $3.9 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.63. That’s not a typo; eBay’s second-quarter performance matches earlier third-quarter predictions precisely. Put another way, eBay failed to grow sequentially, which investors might find disappointing. eBay unit PayPal drove $1.6 billion in revenue, up 19 percent. PayPal now has 137 million members, up 17percent. eBay’s “Enabled Commerce Volume” metric was $52 billion for the quarter, up a healthy 21percent. Digging into the numbers, eBay’s operating margin is now back over the 20percent mark (20.5percent), it generated $1.3 billion in cash during the quarter, and repurchased around$146 million of its own stock during the period. eBay ended the quarter with cash, and equivalents of $13 billion. In regular trading, eBay fell just over 1percent. The company is sharply down in after-hours trading. Why is eBay falling if it managed to best expectations by a smidge? eBay stated in today’s earnings report that it expected revenue of $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion in the fourth quarter. Its non-GAAP earnings per share range is $0.79 to $0.81. The revenue figure is in line with expectations, but the EPS prediction is lower than what the street expected, which was $0.83. It’s never good to meet investor revenue expectations with your forecast, but fail to estimate a similar EPS figure, as it can imply that margins are set to worsen. It’s even tougher to say after reporting a quarter in which your earnings per share and revenue were flat, sequentially. Top Image Credit:Brian Cantoni
