Beat/Miss:BEAT

16:01 GOOG prelim $4.84 vs $4.52 First Call consensus; revs $3.7 bln, ex TAC revs vs $3.61 bln First Call consensus.

Google reported revenues of $5.19 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 42% compared to the first quarter of 2007 and an increase of 7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. Google reports its revenues, consistent with GAAP, on a gross basis without deducting traffic acquisition costs, or TAC. In the first quarter of 2008, TAC totaled $1.49 billion, or 29% of advertising revenues.
