Procter & Gamble Dec 2012 Quarter Non-GAAP Core Pretax Operating Income up 7%

Below here are reconciliations of Procter & Gamble's Pretax Operating Income as Reported and its Non-GAAP Core Pretax Operating Income for the December Quarters of both 2012 and 2011:

Pretax Operating Income, as Reported 4,492 2,680 68%




Various Non-Core Adjustments 155 1,648




Non-GAAP Core Pretax Operating Income 4,647 4,328 7%

This Non-GAAP Core Pretax Operating Income increase of 7% in the December 2012 quarter is a slight acceleration of the 5% growth experienced in the September 2012 quarter, and much improved from such growth of the past several fiscal years.

Given that there are now so many Non-Core Adjustments, I think it would be very helpful to investors if Procter & Gamble disclosed the individual elements of its Core Income Statements.
