Amazon records big loss on expansion

Friday, October 26 08:31:45

Amazon.com Inc reported a big quarterly net loss on Thursday as the world's largest Internet retailer spends heavily to expand existing operations and develop new businesses. Amazon said its third-quarter net loss was $274 million, or 60 cents a share, versus net income of $63 million, or 14 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2011.

Part of the loss related to an impairment charge from Amazon's investment in daily deal company LivingSocial. Third-quarter revenue was $13.81 billion, up 27 percent from a year earlier, Amazon also said. ( C) Reuters
