Each of the first three quarters consists of 12 weeks,
while the fourth quarter includes 16 weeks.
The sum of the earnings per share for the four quarters may differ from the annual earnings per share due
to the required method of computing the quarterly and
annual amounts on the weighted average number of shares
in the respective periods.
In the fourth quarter of 1982, the company disposed
of approximately 35 acres of excess land at the Santa Clara
theme park, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $16,874,000. In
addition, various write-offs and reserves also were recorded, primarily related to airline receivables and foreign
operations. The net effect of the foregoing items was to increase earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 1982 by
$.07 per share.
CONSTANT DOLLAR AND CURRENT COST
INFORMATION (Unaudited)
The following tables are required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 33. They adjust historical cost financial information for changes in the general
purchasing power of the dollar as measured by the Consumer Price Index and for changes in the specific prices of
resources utilized in the company's operations. However,
this information distorts economic performance because
historical cost depreciation is further increased for changes
in general price levels and the company's current costs,
whereas the company's real estate-based assets require
less annual capital reinvestment than is provided by
historical cost depreciation. Accordingly, Current Value
information on page 24 is more meaningful in evaluating
the company's performance and financial condition.
