Groupon’s operating-income accounting is being studied by the Securities and Exchange Commission, part of a routine review of the coupon site’s initial public offering, a person familiar with the matter said.
The SEC is looking at Groupon’s adjusted consolidated segment operating income, one of the main criteria the company uses to measure its business, according to the person. There is no sign that the scrutiny will delay the IPO, the person said.
