The two largest corporations I found, which are headquartered in Alaska, and which file with the SEC, are both Anchorage based.
These two corps had their Total Pretax Income in 2011 increase by a robust 26% over 2010, and by an even more robust 114% over 2009.
In deriving Pretax Income, I start with Pretax Income under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and then exclude clearly unusual very large items relative to Pretax Income, such as Gains and Losses on Debt Retirements.
Below here is the Pretax Income (PTI) of these 2 Alaskan Corps for each of the most recent three years.
