Google revenue grew 17 percent year over year in the fourth quarter of 2013, but the amount it made per share was just less than analysts expected: $12.01 compared to a consensus estimate of $12.26.
Executives including CFO Patrick Pichette will explain the financials on its quarterly earnings call, which we’ll be covering live.
As drawn from Google’s slides, the company is looking to highlight a downward motion — though it may be slight — on the amount of money it spends on traffic acquisition as a percentage of advertising revenue.
We’re also hoping for discussion of the Motorola Mobility sale to Lenovo, recent patent agreements, and other action especially around the smartphone ecosystem.
