The company reported the increased revenue of 32% year-over-year to $568.6 million in the third quarter 2012, compared with $430.2 million in the third quarter 2011. The operating income was $25.4 million in the third quarter 2012, which included stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses of $25.1 million.

“Our solid performance in North America was offset by continued challenges in Europe,” said Andrew Mason, CEO of Groupon. “Groupon Goods has evolved into a second major category that our customers clearly love. With deals on everything from designer sunglasses to big-screen televisions to most-wanted toys, we think it will be a great gifting destination this holiday season.”
