The social media company generated advertising revenue of $1.11 billion, up 23% YoY and in line with the expected $1.12 billion. Twitter reported an adjusted EPS of 90c, up from 16c in the year-ago quarter, which may not compare to the consensus estimates of 3.0c.

TWTR reported a Q1 subscription and other revenue of $94 million, compared to $134 million in the same period last year. The Q1 net income of $513 million took into account a pretax gain of $970 million.

The company withdrew all of its previously-provided targets and guidance after it reached an agreement to sell itself to Elon Musk for $44 billion.
