The $0.16 per share difference is related to non-recurring charges which are not reflected in the estimates: Amazon (AMZN), which has yet to report a profitable quarter since going public in May 1997, said its net loss came to $61.7 million, or 39 cents a share, compared with $10.4 million, or seven cents a share, in the year-earlier period. Revenue increased to $293.6 million from $87.4 million a year ago. However the latest results included $25.3 million in acqusition-related charges and costs. Excluding the charges and costs, the company said it would have posted a loss of $36.4 million, or 23 cents per share. The mean estimate of analysts surveyed by First Call was for a loss, excluding the items, of around 29 cents per share.
