There is a lot of bad financial reporting out there, but this isn't it. They aren't "comparing the per-share number to the total revenue." They are comparing the current quarter's EPS to the EPS for the same quarter a year ago and to the consensus expected EPS.

EPS is just a way of normalizing earnings on a per share basis, kind of like how we quote the price per share (about $31 right now) rather than the total market cap.
