Well, to a degree they are damned if they don't and damned if they do.
Because, the alternative, i.e., pointing out that the underlying profits are better than they are reported to be, often gets interpreted as being a a bit spivvy .
And, personally, I prefer it when the managers of my investee companies are under-stated.
But there is probably a materiality threshold, above which it is not out of place to draw attention to large anomalies; so I do agree with you that in this particular case the non-recurring numbers are so large that some clarification would have been justified.
