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.

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.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 2025 Acquisitions Linksys Holdings, Inc. In 2021, we invested $160.0 million in cash for shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of Linksys for a 50.8% ownership interest in the outstanding equity of Linksys. On January 31, 2025 ( Linksys Acquisition Date ) , we acquired all of the remaining outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of Linksys for $20.8 million in cash and now own 100% of the outstanding equity of Linksys. Our pre-existing equity method investment in Linksys of 50.8% ownership interest was remeasured to the fair value of $21.5 million at the Linksys Acquisition Date, which resulted in a $10.8 million gain recorded in gain (loss) from equity method investments on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Therefore, the aggregate purchase consideration for Linksys equity equaling the fair value of the previously owned stock and the purchase price for the remaining stock acquired was $42.3 million. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Of the aggregate purchase price, $17.5 million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets acquired, and $64.7 million was allocated to other net assets acquired which predominantly included deferred tax asset of $45.8 million, inventory of $21.4 million, and cash of $8.8 million, offset by $11.3 million of net other assets and liabilities assumed. The excess of the fair values of the net assets acquired over the net purchase consideratio

During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, we enter into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria as defined by us or establish the parameters defining our requirements. A significant portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements consists of firm, non-cancelable and unconditional commitments. Certain of these inventory purchase commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers relate to arrangements to secure supply and pricing for certain product components for multi-year periods. In certain instances, these agreements allow us the option to reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to firm orders being placed. As of June 30, 2026, we had $1.67 billion of non-cancelable inventory purchase commitments with our independent contract manufacturers. We recorded a liability for these purchase commitments for quantities in excess of our future estimated demand forecasts
