Summary Box: Facebook reports lower 1Q net income

FALLING PROFIT: Facebook said Monday that its first-quarter net income fell 12 percent as its expenses rose — in spite of much higher revenue.

Its revenue rose 45 percent to $1.06 billion.

STILL GROWING: Facebook said it had 901 million monthly active users as of March 31, up from 845 million as of the end of 2011.

UPCOMING IPO: Facebook, which expects its shares to begin trading publicly in May, confirmed it has applied to list its stock on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “FB.”
