Search engine giante Google Inc. (GOOG) will be reporting its first quarter results tomorrow following the market close, with analysts expecting to see the company report earnings of $8.11 per share.

What makes tomorrow’s conference call all the more interesting to investors is that it will mark the first time that Larry Page will make public comments since he assumed his original role as the company’s CEO.

Page, who was one of the company’s founders, announced in late January his intention to take pace his CEO duties, but has been silent ever since, causing a bit of concern among investors as to how he intends to run the company.

His silence is partly to blame for why Google stock has traded down around 9% since he made his announcement. Should investors get served positive earnings and like what they hear from Page, the stock could make a nice rebound in the weeks to come.

The company has announced that it intends to eliminate bureaucracy in order to get new products more quickly to the market. Google also is undergoing a major increase in its staffing, which by adding an additional 6,200 will increase its payroll expense by around 25% by the end of the current year.

Revenues are expected to come in at $6.3 billion during the quarter.
