Yahoo said that net income rose to $542 million or 37 cents a share, from $142 million or 10 cents a year earlier. The net income figure included a net non-cash gain of $401 million related to the AlibabaGroup’s initial public offering of Alibaba.com. Yahoo owns a stake in Alibaba Group.

Overall revenue grew 9 percent to $1.81 billion. Net revenue, which excludes commissions paid to marketing partners, grew 14 percent percent to $ 1.35 billion, slightly higher than the $1.32 billion forecast by analysts.
