Google Reports Excellent Q3 Earnings

Financial charts of Google data and related commentary have been updated on the Google Financial Performance page for the September Q3 2010 financial results reported by Google. The charts are:

Google Financial Performance by the Quarters

Net Revenues, Operating Income, Net Income
Gross, Operating, & Net Margins

Total Revenues and Earnings per Share Growth
Revenue Sources

Geographic Revenues

Income Statement Q3 Google financial performance was excellent with total revenues $7,286B, net income $2,167B, and earnings per share $6.72. From the prior quarter Q2 2010, total revenues were up +6.8%, net income up +17.8%, and earnings per share up +17.7%. From the prior year Q3 2009, these were up +22.6%, +32.3%, and +30.99%, respectively. Gross, operating, and net margins were also above the prior quarter Q2 2010 and the prior year Q3 2009. Cash Flow from Operations per Share was an amazing $8.95. All of this data is summarized in the charts below.

Balance Sheet Q3 Total assets increased +$5.297B, or +11.0%, from $48.045B to $53.342B. However, total assets are inflated by new balance sheet line items, an asset "Receivable under repurchase agreements" of $875M and a liability, "Securities lending payable" of $2.861B. As a result, return on assets is negatively impacted by these investment operations, i.e., assets are increased significantly without corresponding revenues from the core business. This reduces net income and reduces return on assets, as can be seen on a chart below. These new investment items also reduced the capital to assets ratio (total stockholders' equity divided by total assets) to 81.2%, compared to 84.5% in the prior quarter Q2 2010. However, this ratio still excellent. Google is incredibly liquid with a current ratio (current assets divided by total assets) of 73.95%, which is a multi-year high and is also increased by the new balance sheet items.
