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.
