Answer:

All else being equal, a non-GAAP disclosure that identifies stock-based compensation expense will show

No difference between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income

Explanation:

Stock-based compensation expenses are recognized as non-cash operating expenses in the income statement under US GAAP.  If the stock-based compensation is issued to the direct labor, then the expense is allocated to the cost of sales.  If it is issued to the indirect labor, it is allocated to the operating expense.  This shows that a non-GAAP disclosure of stock-based compensation expense agrees with the US GAAP.  Therefore, the stock-based compensation expenses will not make any difference when the non-GAAP and US GAAP financial statements are compared.
