A company reporting under US GAAP seeking to present a more favorable view of operating income in its quarterly earnings release could: - Identify a gain on sale in a non-GAAP reconciliation. - Identify a restructuring charge (expense) in a non-GAAP reconciliation. - Identify a loss in the fair value of an equity investment. - Elect to not recognize stock-based compensation on its GAAP income statement. - All of the above.
