10. What is the date of your company's upcoming quarterly earnings report?
This date is the date that the company will announce its earnings. This date is not the date associated with the accounting closing dates for quarters or years (the dates of the financial statements). Typically companies report earnings in the quarter following the accounting closing dates of the books. For example, the company King AB will report its earnings on Monday 28 January 2013 for the quarter ended 31 December 2012. Thus, the correct answer to this question for this company would be Monday 28 January 2013, not 31 December 2012.If your company has not announced when it will announce earnings, and then estimate the date from last year's earnings announcement.
