TWTR Q3 2018 Highlights
Revenue growth was strong, up 29% year-over-year, reflecting better-than-expected growth across most products and geographies. Strong revenue performance also drove better-than-expected profitability. Excluding the release of deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $683 million, we generated GAAP net income of $106 million, net margin of 14%, adjusted EBITDA of $295 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 39%.
We made meaningful progress improving the health of the public conversation on Twitter. Our most significant progress in Q3 can be seen in sign-up detection and identifying and challenging potentially automated, spammy, or malicious accounts. We've seen a 20% quarter-over-quarter decrease in successful sign-ups since the introduction of these new techniques and believe the majority of this improvement can be attributed to our recent health efforts.
DAU grew 9% year-over-year in Q3, despite ongoing health efforts, with double-digit growth in five of our top 10 global markets. We made a number of product improvements, including adding the ability to stream audio-only broadcasts and making it easier for people to find, follow, watch, and converse around TV programs and live broadcasts.
