Q4 snap: EPS 1c ahead but slight op profit miss

Q4 missed net revenue and adjusted operating income, but each by less than 1%, while adjusted EPS came in a penny ahead due to non-operating items. Initial CY18 guidance brackets consensus on revenue, before accounting changes, looks light on operating profit but is ahead on adjusted EPS, helped by unquantified tax reform benefits.
