"Net income for the fourth quarter was $23.0 million or $0.17 per diluted share. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2005 were $789.4 million, a decrease of $90.2 million or 10.3 percent from the third quarter 2005 ending balance of $879.5 million." So did they use $90.2M to buy back shares and increase earnings per share? Where do they state the effects of stock option expensing? Would they show a loss if they had to expense options? Total shares outstanding via Yahoo is 133.4M a decrease which is goood as it more than offsets options dilution but it used up cash. I'd like to see an analysis. Good news that orders are up.
