OK Lee, Lets see if we can clarify this completely.

This was the lowest upside surprise in the last 6 quarters.

Q1 99 44A cents is 5% greater than 42E cents. (44/42) - 1 = .05
Q4 98 41A cents is 7% greater than 38E cents.
Q3 98 33A cents is 6% greater than 33E cents.
Q2 98 30A cents is 10% greater than 27E cents.
Q1 98 27A cents is 12% greater than 24E cents.
Q4 97 26A cents is 20% greater than 21E cents.
Q3 97 20A cents is 25% greater than 15E cents.

This comes from GKM&Co.

If you look closely, you will see that Q1 99 @ 5% is the lowest upside surprise in the last 6 quarters, and the trend is DOWN.
I might add, the exact number is like 43.57 cents Just enough to round up to 44.
Oh yea, Don't forget that lower tax rate and the buyback to help boost the number too.

Are we clear now ?
