Groupon今日发布了季度财报，营收超出分析人士预期。这是该公司自去年11月上市以来发布的首份财报。

    位于芝加哥的团购网站Groupon表示，2011年第四季度，公司营收为5.065亿美元，大大超出去年同期的1.722亿美元。相较上季度，环比增幅也高达18%。Groupon预计2012年第一季度营收为5.1亿至5.5亿美元。

    公司2011年第四季度毛账单收入为12.5亿美元，同比增长了201%。

    虽然营收飘红，但Groupon的每股收益却令人大失所望。每股收益为负3美分，而分析人士此前预计每股收益将达到2美分。这也许能解释为何Groupon股票在盘后交易中应声大跌15%。这也许同样能印证为何Groupon的股价在过去几周已下跌超过20%。

    Groupon计划将很快召开营收电话会议。届时首席执行官安德鲁•梅森的问答环节或将成为一大看点，因为他总是不按套路出牌。

    Groupon (GRPN) today reported better-than-expected revenue today, in its first quarterly report since going public last November.

    The Chicago-based daily deals company reported $506.5 million in Q4 2011 revenue, compared to $172.2 million in the year-earlier period. Revenue also rose 18% quarter-over-quarter, with Q1 2012 revenue guidance of between $510 million and $550 million.

    . Gross billings rose 201% year-to-year, to $1.25 billion for Q4 2011.

    Despite the top-line merriment, however, earnings-per-share were a disappointing negative 3 cents per share, compared to consensus estimates of positive 2 cents per share. That likely explains why the stock is down around 15% in aftermarket trading. Or maybe that's simply a reflection of the fact that Groupon shares had spike more than 20% over the past couple of weeks.

    Earnings call is scheduled to begin shortly. Should be interesting to see if CEO Andrew Mason is answering questions, given his penchant for going way off script.
