Terms and Definitions

Quarterly earnings refer to a company's earnings reported for a fiscal quarter. It encompasses all of a corporation's revenues and costs for that time period, including operating expenses, tax payments, and interest payments, which are then subtracted from revenue to calculate net income. It is a key financial indicator, used by investors and analysts to assess a company's performance and make future predictions.

A quarter refers to one fourth of a fiscal year in the financial world. The term is derived from "quarter", meaning four, since a year is composed of four quarters. These are typically defined as January-March (Q1), April-June (Q2), July-September (Q3), and October-December (Q4). A company's financial performance is often evaluated on a quarterly basis.

Revenue is the total income generated by a company's business activities before any costs or expenses are subtracted. For a company like Google, this could include income from advertising, subscriptions, selling of hardware or other goods, and licensing software amongst other sources.

Net income, also referred to as net profit, is the amount a company earns after subtracting all costs and expenses from the total revenue. These expenses can include operational costs, interest payments, taxes and more. It's often referred to as the "bottom line" and is considered an important measure of a company's profitability.

Operating expenses are costs associated with running a business's core operations on a day-to-day basis. For Google, these would typically involve research and development (R&D) costs, administrative costs, sales and marketing costs.

Tax payments refer to the amounts companies are legally obliged to pay to local, regional or national government bodies, based on their taxable income and other financial factors. The amount and calculation can vary widely, depending on the local tax laws and regulations.

Interest payments are the costs a company incurs as a result of borrowing money, which may include loans, bonds, or lines of credit. The interest is usually stated as a yearly rate but is often paid monthly or quarterly.

Investors are individuals or institutions that allocate capital with the expectation of receiving a financial return. Investors analyze a company's financial reports, including its quarterly earnings report, to make decisions about whether to buy, sell, or hold stocks of that company.

Analysts are financial professionals who study various economic and business indicators, including company financial reports, to advise on investment decisions. They use the information to forecast a company's future earnings potential and provide investment recommendations.
