Hi Victor, I am tabulating Alphabet's financial numbers and have some related queries, hope you can help me make sense of this.  
  1. Page 76 of latest annual report - Understand that Class A, B, C shares are identical except with respect to voting rights. Therefore, number of shares outstanding would be total number of Class A + Class B + Class C that is used to compute diluted income per share, am I right?
  2. Page 44 of latest annual report - Can I confirm that "Lease Liabilities and Deferred Revenue" number should only include current lease liabilities and current deferred revenue? Alphabet's operating lease liabilities look like a long-term liability on their balance sheet, is that right?
  3. Page 44 of latest annual report - it looks like Alphabet does not have current debt, only long-term debt. Is this an accurate observation, or is there another name for current debt?

Hi Renice


1. According to page 78 of the 10K report, the total number of basic shares for 2022 is the combination of Class A, B, and C shares. On the other hand, the diluted share count includes the sum of Class A and C shares. Diluted shares consider potential conversions in the future, so the Class A shares already incorporate the potential conversion of B shares.


2. Yes you are right.
3. You are right on this too.


Great job, Renice! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask :)
