Net income of $283.3 million was 31.7% of revenue, and it arrived with help: $27.5 million of other income sat on top of $261.6 million of operating profit. Stock-based compensation of $131.3 million equals 14.7% of revenue, which is the main reason the $402.3 million adjusted EBITDA figure looks so much bigger than operating profit.
Revenue of $895.0 million rose 53.0% from $584.9 million a year ago and landed roughly 3.5% above the $865 million midpoint management set three months ago.

International grew 67.0% against 50.0% in the U.S., which tells you where the incremental dollar came from.
