Florida Companies Audited Earnings Were $14.5 Bil in 2013, up 1,877% Over 2008

Since Florida Governor Rick Scott, who favors some form of Medicaid Expansion, and the Florida State Legislature are discussing how to substantially increase health care coverage to the many Florida uninsured and underinsured citizens and to do so in the optimally fair way to all parties, and also since Indiana Governor Mike Pence and US Health and Human Services Cabinet Secretary Sylvia Burwell have just struck such a groundbreaking, very forward-thinking deal that did just that, as an economic backdrop, I think it would be helpful in several posts to research how Florida companies, hospitals and the overall State of Florida's economy have all been doing financially.

In this first post I will be addressing Florida Companies audited earnings and losses.

From a very thorough review of SEC filings and of the Google Finance website, I found an incredibly huge number of 64 Companies headquartered in the State of Florida with Stock Market Capitalizations of at least $1 bil now, or for non-public companies filing with the SEC with Total Stockholders' Equity of at least $1 bil now, and also with annual audited financial statements filed with the SEC which included financial information covering all years from 2007 to 2013.

So just how have these 64 largest Florida Companies done on the earnings front before, during and after the late 2008 financial meltdown?  Just off-the-charts incredibly well.

The Total Audited Net Income from Continuing Operations of these 64 largest Florida Companies was $14.519 bil in the Most Recent Fiscal Year Ended 2013, a massive 1,877% increase over the $0.817 bil Total Audited Net Losses in the financial meltdown year of 2008.

So if the question to answer is how much better off are Florida Companies in the most recent fiscal year 2013 than they were during the financial meltdown year of 2008, the answer is more than 18 times better or $15.3 bil better as audited earnings and losses are measured by the very prestigious US accounting profession.

There has been something nearly miraculous happening with Florida Companies Audited Earnings in the past five years, and among others, Florida Governor Rick Scott and the members of the Florida State Legislature have all undoubtedly helped here. 

Below here are the Audited Net Income (Losses) of each of these 64 largest Florida Companies for Fiscal Year Ends (FYEs) 2013, 2012, 2011, 2009, 2008 and 2007:
