Guidance by basis

27 of 49 guidance figures that were graded or dropped for basis could not be graded on the same basis (55%). Guidance marked “not judged” is in neither number.

Guidance typeSaidGradedDroppedOther
Revenue · non-GAAPcannot be graded8071
Revenue · basis not stated3522013
EPS · non-GAAPcannot be graded3402014

Said counts every revenue and EPS guidance figure on record. Dropped counts figures whose period was reported but which have no comparable GAAP actual in SEC XBRL. Other covers open, superseded, withdrawn and otherwise unresolved figures. The coverage note below counts every figure shown but not graded, including figures whose period has not been reported, so it can be larger.
