Cash Flow

With some types of securities, such as master limited partnerships (MLP) and real estate investment trusts (REIT), EPS can be completely uninformative because of the unique accounting required for these types of entities.

FCF is a measure of the unencumbered cash a company generates after it meets the necessary expenses of its operations and invests in its future growth. FCF is a key metric because it’s a much more accurate measure of how much cash a business actually has to service debt, pay dividends, invest in its operations or buy back shares.

Again you miss the point.  EPS should be a no brainer.  Why did they miss by 33%j and why no explanation.  Don't we deserve an explanation?
