Revenue for the fourth quarter was $ 19.896 billion, up 10 percent on the same quarter last year. Operating income was $ 6.073 billion and earnings per share $ 0.59, both essentially unchanged from a year ago.

The GAAP numbers defer revenue that was taken for Office 2013 and Windows 8 prior to the availability of the software, not booking the revenue until the software is actually delivered. The non-GAAP numbers book the revenue as soon as it’s taken. Under that metric, quarterly revenue was $ 19.114 billion, up three percent year on year. Operating income was $ 5.291 billion, down 24 percent year on year, and earnings per share were $ 0.52, down 29 percent on a year ago.
