Isolating Out Facebook, the Remaining 101 San Mateo County San Francisco Bay Area Companies Total Pretax Income Declined By 13% in the 1Q 2020. Excluding Both Facebook and the Giant Oracle, This Total Pretax Income Declined By 29%.

From a review of Company SEC filings, I found 102 Companies headquartered in the San Mateo County located in the San Francisco Bay Area which filed their 1Q 2020 financial statements with the SEC.

I isolated out the huge, highly-profitable Facebook because it recorded a $3.0 bil Legal Expense Earnings Charge in the 1Q of 2019 related to its settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission.  Its reported Pretax Income growth in the 1Q of 2020 was 68%.  Excluding this $3.0 bil Legal Earnings Charge, the 1Q of 2020 Pretax Income declined by 10% from the As-Adjusted Pretax Income in the 1Q of 2019.

The table below shows the US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the first quarter of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 102 San Mateo County Companies.
