(Reuters) - Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, China's biggest e-commerce company, said fourth-quarter revenue rose 39 percent, helped by growth in gross merchandise volume.

Gross merchandise volume (GMV), or the total value of goods transacted on its platforms on China retail marketplaces, rose 24 percent to 742 billion yuan.

Net income attributable to shareholders was $832 million, or 33 cents per share.
