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.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer 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.

LEASES The Companys lease arrangements consist of facility, vehicle, aircraft, and equipment leases, as well as other short-term leases for storage and office space. Sale-Leaseback Transaction In July 2025, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with a related party for two of its buildings with an initial leaseback term of 29 years. The sale-leaseback transaction was evaluated under the sale and leaseback guidance in ASC 842-40, Leases Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

SEGMENT REPORTING The Company has one operating and reportable segment Development and Manufacturing Electric Aircrafts.
