James, Your formula explicitly answers my original question -- that the operating margin is before taxes. However, if I apply your formula to Matt's math (316 x 1.35 x 1.35 x .2) - taxes)/75 = 1.32 to 1.37, then the tax rate is about 12%. I don't think that's right either. The 316 didn't include EST or AudeSi, but the 37% does. Partly because of this, I think the 37% is wisely and purposely low. I look for this number to be raised again in the upcoming cc. -Peter
