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.

Point-in-time ledger

first-reported vs latest filing · periods since 2020-01-01 · 0 changed periods

No period on file has changed between its first report and the latest filing carrying it.

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.

Commitments and contingencies · 1,216 characters as filed

14. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to routine legal claims, proceedings, and investigations associated with contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims, asbestos matters, and audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business. The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. The Company regularly assesses such matters to determine the degree of probability that it will incur a material loss as a result of such matters, as well as the range of possible loss. The Company records accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. Based upon information presently available, and in light of legal and other factual defenses available to the Company, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, future operating results or liquidity.

Segment reporting · 5,929 characters as filed

"17. Business Segment Information The Companys operations are organized and reviewed by management along its product lines or end markets that the segment serves and are presented in two reportable segments. Segment profit is reviewed quarterly by the chief operating decision maker (""CODM""), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, for the purposes of allocating resources, including personnel, capital, and financial resources, and assessing performance, including the monitoring of budget versus actual results. During the fourth quarter of 2025, management updated the definition of the segment profit measure used by the CODM. The presentation of prior period segment information has been recast to conform to this updated measure. Asset information by segment is not reported internally or otherwise regularly reviewed by the CODM. The Companys reportable segments are organized as groups of similar products and services, as described as follows: Engineered Systems: The Company's Engineered Systems segment serves the power generation, hydrocarbon processing, water/wastewater treatment, oily water separation and treatment, marine and naval vessels, and midstream oil and gas sectors.
