It all depends. You need to reconcile the pro-forma EPS from the GAAP EPS.
Sometimes a one-time or non-recurring item could turn a pro-forma gain to a GAAP
loss. Also look for the impact of write-offs and impairments, especially from
intangible assets. A an occasional loss from such items is OK. A consistent loss
is not acceptable.

A single quarter's loss can't be looked at in isolation. Sometimes the company
needs to take restructuring or other one-time charges for longer term strategic
purposes. DB

Negative EPS can sometimes be good if the company loses less than analyst
estimates. Just because a company is not profitable yet doesn't mean it won't be
profitable in the future. Just check out PALM's last quarter.
