Facebook has earned a reputation for delivering the goods on earnings day, and Wednesday was no exception.
The social giant reported record totals for revenue, profits and user figures across the board on Wednesday, beating Wall Street estimates on a day when company stock rose nearly 3%.

The new numbers show that despite more than 1.3 billion users, Facebook is still growing at a steady rate. The company added more than 40 million monthly active users in Q2, and mobile monthly actives increased more than 30% over the past year.
In fact, more than 650 million people use Facebook every day from a mobile device, more than twice the U.S. population.
Here's how Facebook's record-breaking quarter looks on paper.

Facebook revenue was at an all-time high last quarter, almost $350 million more than Q4, which included holiday ad spending.

Facebook profits rose to $791 million in Q2.

U.S. and Canadian users make the most money for Facebook, averaging $6.44 of revenue per user.

While user growth has slowed in Europe and the U.S., Facebook continues to add millions of new users each month from Asia and other parts of the world.

Facebook eclipsed one billion mobile monthly active users last quarter, and added to that number again in Q2.

Two years ago, the U.S. and Canada had more daily active users than Asia. Asia now outpaces those countries by 50%.

The number of people who use Facebook each day from a mobile device is more than twice the population of the United States.
