Five years in brief

Worked out from the figures above, not from a press release
  • Revenue shrank 0.7% a year over five years, and earnings per share grew 8.4% a year.
  • The diluted share count fell 3.9% in five years, so buybacks did some of the work per share.
  • Profitable in every one of the 10 years on file.
