Google parent Alphabet’s profit up 29% on strong ad sales

Live Mint  

Bengaluru/San Francisco: Google parent Alphabet posted a surge in profit and revenue on Thursday as its core advertising business continued to grow at an extraordinary rate and problems such as an advertiser boycott of YouTube had little impact. “Our great properties—like Search, Maps, YouTube and Google Play—are the ‘prime time’ for the mobile world, where people are actively engaged and interested,” Google chief executive officer Sundar Pichai said during a call with analysts. Alphabet chief financial officer Ruth Porat said during the earnings call that “YouTube revenues continue to grow at a significant rate,” dispelling concerns about the possible impact of an advertiser boycott of the video service. “That is quite an impressive achievement.” On the other hand, Alphabet’s “Other Bets”—separate business units including the Waymo self-driving car business, Google Fiber, thermostat-maker Nest and the life sciences firm Verily—continued to post large losses and modest revenues. Revenues from Alphabet’s “Other Bets,” climbed to $244 million, up from $165 million in the year-ago quarter; Nest, Verily and Fiber accounted for the bulk of that, Porat said on the call.
