Financial reporting: the alphabet soup

October 13, 2005

Posted by Mark Fuchs, Chief AccountantWarning: Financial reporting minutiae below. Proceed with caution.earnings announcementearnings per share (EPS)GAAP

GAAP net income - $300 million

Stock-based compensation charge - $100 million (note that other charges in addition to stock-based compensation may be excluded from the computation and presentation of our non-GAAP results as appropriate in the future)

Tax affect of stock based compensation charge - $35 million

Shares outstanding for Google - 600 million

$300,000,000 / 600,000,000 = $0.50

Subtract the $35 million tax affect from the $100 million stock-based compensation charge to arrive at $65 million

Add that $65 million to the $300 million GAAP net income for a new, non-GAAP net income of $365 million

Divide $365 million by 600 million shares outstanding and get a non-GAAP EPS of $0.61.

($300,000,000 + ($100,000,000 - $35,000,000)) / 600,000,000 = $0.61

Add the full $100 million stock-based compensation charge to the GAAP net income of $300 million and arrive at their non-GAAP net income of $400 million

Divide that by outstanding shares and arrive at non-GAAP EPS (for the fictitious example, $0.67 per share)

($300,000,000 + $100,000,000) / 600,000,000 = $0.67
