Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) announced its best ever Q1 earnings on Wednesday, May 18th. The company’s revenue grew by nearly 27% year-on-year (y-o-y) to $1.9 billion for the quarter. The rise in revenue was primarily driven by a surge in subscriptions for AppCloud and Service Cloud. The company’s net income increased nine-fold y-o-y to $38.8 million, which was aided by substantial gains on the sale of strategic investments and changes in accounting standards. GAAP earnings per share for the company increased from $0.01 in Q1 FY’16 to $0.06 in this quarter.
