Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Revenue recognition · 1,868 characters as filed

Revenue The Company generates revenue by providing transportation services for customers from an origin to a destination of the shipment. The Company and its customers enter into transportation service agreements that establish the terms, including prices, under which orders to purchase transportation services may be placed. When an agreement includes enforceable terms and conditions over a specified period, it is considered a contract, as it establishes enforceable rights and obligations. Substantially all of the Companys contracts with its customers are for a single performance obligation of providing self-driving and other transportation services, with the transaction price determined on a per mile rate basis, or a comparable pricing mechanism. The transaction price may be defined in a transportation services agreement or negotiated with the customer prior to accepting the shipment order. The Company recognizes revenue on its transportation services as goods are transported from the origin to the destination utilizing an over time model as the services are provided. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance, and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer, when applicable. Invoices are generally due 30 days after the invoice date. Receivables are recorded for the unconditional right to consideration when

Segment reporting · 1,629 characters as filed

Segment The Company has one reportable segment managed on a consolidated basis by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM). In identifying one reportable segment, the Company considered the basis of organization for the continued development of the Aurora Driver, an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software and data services designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that is also reported on the income statement as consolidated net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as consolidated total assets. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates performance based on net loss, which is the Companys measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM considers budget to actual and year-over-year variances for net loss when making decisions about how to utilize the companys resources. The components of segment profit or loss were as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Revenue $ 2 $ 1 $ 3 $ 1 Less: Cost of revenue 7 5 12 5 Personnel expenses 122 112 247 227 Other operating expenses 79 59 148 121 Other segment items (a) 64 26 89 57 Net loss $ (270) $ (201) $ (493) $ (409) (a) Other segment it
