## Definitions

- **ROIC** (`roic`, percent): NOPAT / average invested capital × 100. NOPAT = operating income × (1 − effective tax rate). Invested capital = equity including noncontrolling interests + debt − cash and equivalents. Average uses period end and one year earlier.
- **ROCE** (`roce`, percent): Operating income / average (assets − current liabilities) × 100, using period end and one year earlier.
- **ROIIC** (`roiic`, percent): Year-over-year change in annual/TTM NOPAT / positive year-over-year change in invested capital × 100. Capital reductions and missing inputs yield unavailable values.
- **ROE** (`roe`, percent): Earnings attributable to owners / average equity attributable to owners × 100, using period end and one year earlier.
- **ROA** (`roa`, percent): Net income / average total assets × 100, using period end and one year earlier.
- **ROIC − WACC** (`roic_wacc`, percentage_points): ROIC less your WACC assumption, in percentage points. The same scenario rate is applied across history; it is not a reported or historical company WACC.

## Data conventions

- Null means an unavailable input or undefined calculation, never zero. Values are unrounded; money and shares are in millions unless a column states otherwise.
- Fiscal periods use actual reporting start/end dates. Annual reported values are not constructed by adding quarterly EPS or weighted share counts. Partial years are labelled.
- FCF uses operating cash flow minus reported cash capital investment, preferring PPE purchases. The productive-assets fallback can also include software and intangibles. Acquisitions and noncash leases are excluded. Deduct SBC is an optional economic-cost scenario; missing SBC remains unavailable.
- SBC / FCF and SBC / OCF compare amounts from the same fiscal period. SBC / FCF always uses FCF before SBC deduction; nonpositive denominators are undefined and values above 100% remain valid.
- Capital allocation percentages describe available tracked cash uses, not all company spending or a fraction of OCF. Missing categories remain null, negative payments are excluded and SBC is noncash. Annual shares use reported annual amounts.
- Valuation uses completed, split-adjusted closes without dividend adjustment and a complete trailing year. Financial bases become eligible after publication; selected facts can contain later restatements. This is not a vintage-filings backtest.
- Mean and median use all valid observations in the selected date range before pagination. Historical pricing labels compare the latest positive value with its own median and do not estimate intrinsic fair value.
- Reporting currencies are retained without conversion. USD market capitalization, where available, is a separate dated Nasdaq snapshot.
- WACC is an editable US industry scenario across history, not a historical company cost of capital. Industry exclusions, missing inputs and pending filings remain explicit.
