On Jan. 31, Google
- Sales of $6.1 billion easily surpassed guidance. But EPS of $5.50, which excluded one-time items such as stock-based compensation, fell far short of $5.90 per stub.
- Though extraordinary in size and scope, Google's network partners didn't drive revenue in 2005. Google's own sites did the trick, capturing 55% of sales.
