RE: RE: RE: Q1 EarningsMaybe I am missing something, but NI is:
A company's total earnings (or profit). Net income is calculated bytaking revenues and adjusting for the cost of doing business,depreciation, interest, taxes and other expenses. This number is foundon a company's income statement and is an important measure of howprofitable the company is over a period of time. The measure is alsoused to calculate earnings per share.
There statement is ambiguous and does not include taxes. I think the earnings were a miss. I am wondering why they just didnt state net income rather than earnings before tax and other items.
