Five years in brief

Worked out from the figures above, not from a press release
  • Revenue grew 9.4% a year over five years, and earnings per share grew 43.4% a year.
  • The diluted share count fell 4.5% in five years, so buybacks did some of the work per share.
  • Operating margin is up 18.9 points on five years ago, at 22.2%.
  • Profitable in every one of the 9 years on file.
