The social media giant also announced it had 955 million monthly active users as of June 30.
Revenue for the second quarter reached $1.18 billion, an increase of 32 percent compared with $895 million in the second quarter of 2011.
In U.S. and Canada, Facebook makes around $3.20 of average revenue per user, up from $2.90 in the previous quarter.
Facebook faced an operating loss this quarter of $157 million, compared to income (also known as profit) from operations of $407 million for the second quarter of 2011.
Ad revenue was up 28 percent, to $992 million but it “still represents deceleration from Q1′s growth rate, but that number is a bit higher than analysts were expecting,” as AllThingsD writes.
Facebook also revealed more figures on membership: Daily active users were 552 million on average for June 2012, an increase of 32 percent year-over-year.
Mobile monthly users were at 543 million as of June 30, an increase of 67 percent year-over-year.
Facebook raised $16 billion in the May 17 IPO, the largest ever for a technology company, Bloomberg writes. “Yet its debut on the public market was marred by technical glitches, and the stock only managed to close above $38 on the first day of trading.”
As of time of publication, the company’s share value is at $26.85.
