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.

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.

Income taxes · 8,206 characters as filed
NOTE 14 INCOME TAXES As described in Note 1 Business Organization and Note 10 Stockholders' Equity, as a result of the IPO, Carvana Co. began consolidating the financial results of Carvana Group. Carvana Group is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Carvana Group is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Carvana Group is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members (LLC Unitholders), including Carvana Co., based on its allocable share held in Carvana Group. Nonetheless, many states require that partnerships make mandatory tax payments on behalf of members who are non-residents of the respective states. Accordingly, if Carvana Group generates taxable income and is required to remit income tax on behalf of its members, it will make payments to the states through composite tax returns and non-resident withholding. These payments are treated as distributions to the affected members because the amounts remitted are a payment of income tax on behalf of the affected members. Payments on behalf of non-controlling members of $2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and $4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are included as reductions to the non-controlling interests in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equi …
