Growth Score

2 of 10 Weak growth

Ten checks against the annual reports — each one passed counts a point.

  • Revenue grows by more than 15% a year over three years 14.6% failed
  • More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year 1.8% failed
  • Share count grows by less than 3% a year 11.6% failed
  • Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 49.4% passed
  • Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 27.2% failed
  • Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 13.8% failed
  • Net debt below twice EBITDA failed
  • Operating cash flow covers the profits of the last three years 536 m passed
  • Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago -11.5% failed
  • Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 1.3% failed

A criterion without figures counts neither as passed nor as failed; a score is only produced from 7 judgeable criteria upwards. Source: fundamental data. All ten criteria in detail

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Fiscal years from the audited annual reports, oldest first. EBIT is the operating profit before interest and taxes; total assets are everything the company owns.
