That's not possible. 1Q doesn't even end until March 31st. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.28.208 (talk) 22:46, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Apple's Fiscal year matches the US Federal fiscal year and ends September 30, so 1Q2013 ended on December 31, 2012. More info about corporate fiscal years Tomhuxley (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Earnings?
editThe article is called "List of largest corporate profits and losses". Yet the table introduces another term - earnings. Is it net profit? Is it revenue? Is it post- or pre-tax? Le Grand Bleu (talk) 13:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
- Earning and profit/loss are equivalent terms. The problem is that some of the companies (e.g. Apple) have after-tax earnings listed and some others seem to have pre-tax earnings listed. A consensus should be reached here on whether to list pre-tax or after-tax earnings and that should be clearly stated in the lead, one way or the other. M Carling 14:04, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
PEMEX
editPemex lost 30.3 billion dollards (source : Financial Times, feb 29 2016) in 2015. It should be on the list. --Raminagrobis (talk) 21:35, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
