Facebook is expected to grow its revenue by 42% to $7.83 billion when it reports first-quarter earnings after the close of market on Wednesday.

Here are the expected numbers for Facebook's Q1 earnings:

• EPS (adjusted): $1.12, up 45% from the year-ago period.
• Revenue: $7.83 billion, up 42% from the year-ago period.
