Receivables do not impact EPS. EPS is based on earnings, and sales are counted as revenue when they are made, without regard to whether or not the customer has paid for goods or not. Receivables and Cash are both balance sheet asset items, and whether a sale increases cash or increases receivables is irrelevant to earnings. Only if the customer is finally determined to have defaulted -- and payment is never expected to be received -- would the "loss" then be recognized.
