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.

Income taxes · 1,911 characters as filed

Income Taxes The Company determines the tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 23.1%, an increase from 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company recorded income tax expense of $19,426 and $18,546 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily a result of an increase in non-deductible expenses and lower excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 24.9%, an increase from 19.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company recorded income tax expense of $43,744 and $32,042 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily a result of higher profit and lower excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in non-deductible compensation expenses, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Deferred income taxes recognized in OCI were as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2026 2025
