The $1.1 billion gain on equity securities for Q1 2019 includes $1.0 billion of net unrealized gains on equity investments that we hold and which may not ultimately be realized. Fluctuations in the value of these investments could contribute to the volatility of other income (expense), net (OI&E) in future periods.
|
(2)
|
ASU 2016-01, effective January 1, 2018, requires that all gains and losses, unrealized and realized, on equity security investments are recognized in OI&E. For Q1 2019, the net effect of the gain on equity securities of $1.1 billion and the performance fees of $117 million increased income tax, net income, and diluted EPS by $203 million, $763 million, and $1.09 respectively.
|
(3)
|
Performance fees were reclassified for the prior period from general and administrative expenses to OI&E to conform with current period presentation. Additional information on the reclassification can be found in our blog post on April 15, 2019 and our Q1 2019 10-Q. |

Reconciling items are primarily comprised of the European Commission fine for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as well as corporate administrative costs and other miscellaneous items that are not allocated to individual segments for all periods presented. Performance fees previously included in reconciling items were reclassified for the prior period from general and administrative expenses to other income (expense), net to conform with current period presentation.
|
(2) |
For purposes of segment reporting, SBC represents awards that we expect to settle in Alphabet stock. |
(3) |
Reconciling items are related to timing differences of payments, as segment capital expenditures are on an accrual basis while total capital expenditures shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are on a cash basis, and other miscellaneous differences. |
