Twitter reports net profit for first time: 3 things to know

Twitter recorded its first-ever net profit in the fourth quarter of 2017, according to Reuters.

Here are three things to know.

1. Twitter saw revenues rise 2 percent year over year to $731.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

2. Twitter said the revenue boost was partially attributable to redesigned ad formats, growth in video ad sales and higher click-thru rates on ads.

3. The company ended the fourth quarter of 2017 with a net profit of $91.1 million. That's compared to the $167.1 million net loss Twitter posted in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to Reuters.
