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 15.3% a year.
  • The diluted share count fell 16.5% in five years, so buybacks did some of the work per share.
  • Operating margin is up 1.5 points on five years ago, at 17.9%.
  • Profitable in every one of the 10 years on file.
