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.

The actual number of shares to be issued upon PSU performance measurement can range from 0% to 100% of the awards granted. RTSRs vest approximately three years from the grant date.

Segment reporting · 3,582 characters as filed
Segment Information The Company operates as one segment. The accounting policies of the Companys segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. During the third quarter of 2025, in conjunction with the change in Shentels CEO, the Company evaluated and concluded that the Chief Executive Officer role continues to represent the Companys Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Companys CODM assesses company performance at a consolidated level and decides how to allocate resources based on Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, as adjusted for certain non-recurring items, (Adjusted EBITDA) from continuing operations of the Broadband business. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses (loss) income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the operations of the Company or for other purposes, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Adjusted EBITDA is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze the Companys growth by monitoring current results versus prior year results. The analyses are used in assessing performance of the Company and in establishing managements compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as (loss) income from …

Commitments and Contingencies We are committed to make payments to satisfy our lease liabilities. The scheduled payments under those obligations are summarized in Note 7, Leases . We also have outstanding unconditional purchase commitments to procure marketing services and IT software licenses through 2031. From time to time the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising out of the normal course of business. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters. Estimating the probable losses or a range of probable losses resulting from litigation, government actions and other legal proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, may involve discretionary amounts, present novel legal theories, are in the early stages of the proceedings, or are subject to appeal. Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies. The Companys management does not believe that the final outcome of any matters that we are currently involved in are reasona …
