Alibaba's core businesses, Taobao and Tmall Group, experienced a 12% revenue increase to 114.95 billion yuan ($15.94 billion.) The Chinese e-commerce giant's push into international markets resulted in a 60% surge in revenue from international commerce retail and a 34% rise for its Cainiao logistics business. The positive results came amidst significant organizational changes, including the impending departure of CEO and Chairman Daniel Zhang and a restructuring of the company's business groups.
