Calcbench: 72 percent of S&P 500 companies reported adjusted earnings in 2025, pushing non-GAAP net income higher than “traditional” GAAP net income by $271 billion

Published

on

Adjustments to earnings remain widespread across Corporate America. S&P 500 companies routinely report “adjusted earnings.” Just how much companies are adjusting, and the substance of those adjustments, are the subject of a comprehensive annual Non-GAAP Reconciliations Report from Calcbench, in collaboration with Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School

NEW YORK, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Calcbench, a leading interactive platform for financial data from SEC filings, in collaboration with Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School, today released its most comprehensive study to date on non-GAAP adjustments companies make to corporate earnings.

The study identified 361 S&P 500 companies that adjusted their net income or EPS figures for their fiscal year 2025 earnings. In total, the firms reported adjusted net income that was $271 billion higher than “traditional” net income as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Eighty-seven percent of firms had adjusted net income that was higher than GAAP net income, and some firms (AbbVie, Broadcom, Capital One, General Motors, and Pfizer among them) reported adjusted net income that was multiple times higher than GAAP net income. Those companies’ adjustments were so substantial that they contributed materially to the $271 billion in total non-GAAP adjustments across the whole S&P 500.

This marks the fifth year that Calcbench and Suffolk University have collaborated to examine how the largest U.S. public companies adjust their U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) figures to measure profitability. One of the most notable findings from this year’s research was a significant shift in adjustments related to gains and losses on investments. In 2025, companies’ total adjustments for investments were negative $7.9 billion (meaning companies removed investment gains from their adjusted income figures), which was a $33.5 billion swing from the positive $26.5 billion reported in 2024.

“The removal of gains and losses from investments begs the question of exactly how big these corporate investment portfolios are becoming,” says Pranav Ghai, Co-Founder and CEO of Calcbench. “But analysts and investors still need to assess whether these non-GAAP adjustments provide a clearer picture of earnings.”

“Whether or not you believe the adjustments are warranted, analyzing non-GAAP remains a critical part of understanding management’s perspective of company performance,” says Tracey Riley, Interim Dean of Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School. “Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School Winterns’ work spanned multiple courses, where they collected and reviewed data, and conducted in-depth analyses of the adjustments.”

Apaluma Announces $5.55 Million Seed Funding to Scale Unified Government Data Platform

Published

on

By

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Apaluma, which transforms fragmented regulatory records into a unified ecosystem, today announced the closing of its $5.55 million seed funding round led by Crosslink Capital and Kickstart, co-led by Haven Ventures and Overwater Ventures, with Orange DAO and NM Vintage Fund as additional pre-seed and seed investors.

Government agencies hold the data that shapes daily life: Permits, regulations, and environmental records are all public records. Most of it sits in PDFs, scanned ledgers, and incompatible databases. It exists, but no one can use it. Apaluma transforms fragmented regulatory records into one connected ecosystem.

The records become searchable, secure, mapped to real-world locations, and governed by each agency’s own rules. The platform is purpose-built for the full regulatory life cycle and serves analysts, scientists, and regulators who need answers in hours, not weeks.

“With Apaluma, every record — from filing to enforcement — lives in one connected system,” said Apaluma founder and CEO Alicia J. Keyes. “That unification expedites permitting, speeds up FOIA requests, streamlines agency operations, and makes the regulatory life cycle of a location coherent and actionable.”

“We invest in founders who understand a problem from the inside,” said Gabby Contro of Crosslink Capital. “Alicia ran economic development for the state of New Mexico. She has sat at the nexus of sustainability and development. That firsthand insight is what convinced us that Apaluma can solve this long-fragmented problem for regulators and businesses.”

Apaluma links every facility, permit, violation, and record by meaning through data ontology, not just by keyword, so queries surface the full regulatory picture of a location.

In New Mexico, the Apaluma platform ingested every public document the New Mexico Environment Department has ever filed, normalized it, and made the entire archive searchable from a single interface, with cited sources on every answer.

Does Apaluma work with air pollution data, pollution data, and air quality data for government agencies?

The platform connects monitoring feeds and sensor data to decades of permitting context on a single dashboard, unifying siloed state, federal, city, and county records into maps, charts, and dashboards in one place.

Does Apaluma offer water-quality data solutions?

Apaluma is used daily by permit reviewers, compliance officers, and water-quality analysts — all without hallucinated facts or untraceable claims.
