It was mainly due to a 28% jump in the Google<fbs-ticker data-name=\"GOOG\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/google\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  GOOG<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker> Cloud segment. However, Google advertising revenues (including Google search, YouTube ads, and Google network) were marginally lower than in Q1 2022. Further, cost-per-impression was reduced by 5% y-o-y. Notably, the Google advertising unit contributes close to 80% of the top line. On the cost front, the cost of revenues increased 3% y-o-y, followed by a 19% rise in operating expenses. It led to a drop in operating margin from 30% to 25% in the quarter. Overall, the net income decreased by 8% y-o-y to $15.1 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s top line grew 10% y-o-y to $282.84 billion in FY 2022. It was primarily driven by a 7% increase in Google Services revenues and a 37% jump in the Google Cloud unit. However, the operating margin declined from 31% to 26% in the year, due to higher expenses. Further, other income decreased from $12 billion to -$3.5 billion, mainly because of changes in gains and losses on equity securities and performance fees. Altogether, net income dropped by 21% y-o-y to $59.97 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/GOOG\/no-login-required\/9HHJXQfK\/Google-Revenues-How-Does-GOOG-Make-Money-?fromforbesandarticle=trefis230505\">Google\u2019s revenues<\/strong> are estimated to touch $299 billion in FY2023. Further, its net income margin is likely to improve in the year, leading to a net income of $66.75 billion. This coupled with an annual EPS of $5.24 and a P\/E multiple of just above 24x will lead to a valuation of $127.<\/p>\n<p>Check out how <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/goog\/topic\/peer-comparisons\">Alphabet (Google) Peers<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>fare on metrics that matter.
