Proforma Earnings
Management may present results according to the practice
of proforma reporting, presenting “proforma earnings”
in an “if then” context.
“If we did not have these non-cash charges, then our
earnings would have been $xxx.”
Because these proforma income/earnings do not include
all legitimate costs, expenses, and losses, and because
they are not GAAP / IFRS, the users of such results can
be misled.
