Pinterest proved an exception to the digital-advertising slog that has roiled much of the tech sector. $PINS reported a third-quarter loss of $65.2 million, or 10 cents a share, on sales of $684.6 million, up 8% from $632.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

The social-media company on Thursday reported sales and profit, as well as monthly active users, that beat financial analysts’ estimates, catapulting the shares in after-hours trading.

“Despite the challenging macro environment, we are delivering performance and a distinct value proposition to advertisers, reaching users across the full funnel,” Pinterest’s new Chief Executive Bill Ready said in a statement. Pinterest also said fourth-quarter revenue will “grow mid-single digits on a year-over-year percentage basis.”

Monthly active users remained flat, at 445 million; Wall Street analysts on average projected 437.4 million.
