Segments

US companies must disclose in their mandatory reports how revenue breaks down across business segments, regions and product lines. We read that breakdown for you straight from the annual and quarterly reports (10-K and 10-Q) of Costco Wholesale Corp (COST). It shows which part of the business is growing — and which one is holding it back.

Revenue by business segment

Operating metrics

Operating metrics are the figures a company uses to measure its own business — customer counts, stores, deliveries or the churn rate. None of them appear in the financial statements, and they often explain earlier than revenue does why revenue is moving.

Operating metrics — COST

Renewal rate, U.S. and Canada 92.7% 92.2% 92.1% 92.2% -0.5%

Average ticket growth – 3.0% 4.0% 7.0%
Shopping frequency growth 5.0% 3.0% 3.0% 2.0% -60.0%

These metrics are not part of the financial statements; they sit in the narrative text of the filings. We read them out of the SEC filings using artificial intelligence and check every single figure against the original passage in the report; anything that is not found there verbatim is discarded. Source: SEC EDGAR (annual and quarterly reports, 10-K/10-Q).

Segment and region names are the ones the company itself uses and are shown as reported. Change and share refer to revenue.
