Income from operations was $4.91 billion, up 42 percent, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization increased 30 percent to $7.22 billion in the same period. Daniel Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Alibaba Group, said the company is well-positioned to capture growth from the ongoing digital transformation in both consumption and enterprise operations.
