Five years in brief

Worked out from the figures above, not from a press release
  • Revenue shrank 0.1% a year over five years, and earnings per share grew 4.6% a year.
  • The diluted share count fell 4.2% in five years, so buybacks did some of the work per share.
  • Operating margin is flat at 39.0%.
  • A net loss in 1 of 10 years on file.
