Calendarization Question - Backing out 1 quarter

I have a set of comps with FYE’s 12/31/17. One company has a FYE 1/31/17. I am trying to compare data for the companies with Q1 18 earnings. The company with FYE 1/31/17 will not report their Q1 18 earnings until a couple more weeks, so if I were to perform my analysis now, how would I compare this company’s most recent quarter earnings to the comp set with the majority already having reported Q1 18 earnings? Would the most recent quarter for that company (for comparing to the set) be Q4 17 and I would have to back in to this quarter given FYE 1/31/18. Need a bit of clarification. Again goal would be to compare that company’s Q4 17 earnings to the rest of the set with Q1 18 already reported. How to back in to that Q4 17 figure. Thanks.
