Chinese internet giant Baidu raked in about 3.1 billion yuan, or about 465 million U.S. dollars in net profit in the third quarter of the year, up 9.2 percent year on year.
The world's largest Chinese search engine gained 18.3 billion yuan in total revenue.
The figure represents a 0.7 percent drop from the last year.
This marks Baidu's first drop in revenue since it went to public in 2005.
