Key Figures

Money in US$ millions; earnings per share in US dollars. Free cash flow is the cash from operating activities less capital expenditures. Total debt is short-term plus long-term debt, or the total the company itself tags when that is larger. A margin is the profit line divided by revenue; return on equity is net income divided by the average of shareholders' equity at the start and the end of the year. A blank cell means the company does not report the line under a standard tag; it does not mean zero.

The last column is not a fiscal year. It is the last twelve months to 30 September 2026: the last fiscal year, plus the year to date in the latest quarterly report (Form 10-Q, filed 5 November 2026), less the same year-to-date period a year before; total assets, total debt and equity are those of the quarterly balance sheet. Quarterly reports are unaudited interim data. The column enters no growth rate and no chart.

‡ Withheld: the tagged figure exists but is known to be incomplete or failed a stated check, so it is not shown (last twelve months: no year-to-date figure for this line in the latest quarterly report).

Compound Growth

The compound annual growth rate is the single yearly rate that, applied every year, takes the first value to the last one: the last value divided by the first, raised to the power of one over the number of years, less one. It uses only the two end values, so an unusual first or last year moves it a great deal.

  • Revenue: 2,620 in fiscal 2018 to 5,936 in fiscal 2026 (US$ millions), 8 years: 10.8 % a year.
  • Diluted earnings per share: 3.39 in fiscal 2018 to 7.93 in fiscal 2026 (US dollars per share), 8 years: 11.2 % a year.

The annual report first filed for each fiscal year, with a link to its index page on EDGAR, the SEC's filing system. A later annual report repeats earlier years for comparison and sometimes restates them; where a value was taken from a later report, the last column gives the date of the latest one used.

  • The figures are as filed with the SEC and standardized by reporting tag. The filing is the authority: check it before relying on a number.
  • A blank cell means the company does not tag that line, or the tagged figure is withheld as incomplete. It does not mean zero.
  • Currency: every figure is in the currency the company reported that year (US dollars here). Nothing is converted.
  • Per-share figures are adjusted for stock splits detected from the company's own restated figures, except where a year is flagged; the as-filed values are in the filings.
  • For a bank, broker, insurer or other financial company (SIC codes 6000 to 6799) net debt, EBITDA, the current ratio and debt to equity are not meaningful and the tools show them as n/m.
  • A fiscal year is named after the calendar year in which it ends. The data is updated from time to time, not daily; this company's figures were loaded on 13 November 2026.
