Financial results

Monetary columns are in B USD, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Profit and cash

Profit is cash-backed
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 1.82x of reported net profit; after capex, 0.87x.

accruals, % of assets-11.0%-14.7%-13.9%-10.5%-15.1%
Last twelve months (to 2026-09-30): 1.77x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA 0.0x · EBIT covers interest 71.5x · capex 3.0x of depreciation · dividends 1% of free cash flow · share count -2.6% a year
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: -25.7%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-09-30 vs 2025-09-30)
= (20 142 − 25 498) × 5.18
-27 735
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (1 568 856 + 32 393) ÷ 104 300
15.4x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 12) ÷ 2
= (15.4 + 12) ÷ 2
13.7x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -25 781 + 1 346 + 0 − 0
-24 435
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (-27 735 × 13.7 + -24 435) ÷ 1 568 856
-25.7%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth steady →
Last-year revenue growth +22% vs +22% the year before — a +0.2 pp move. 3-year CAGR +20%.
revenue growth by year: 2023 +16% · 2024 +22% · 2025 +22%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).

Group median 8.7x; this company 15.4x — a 76% premium.

Group average 11.7x; against the average this company is at a 31% premium. The average sits 34% above the median: Alphabet Inc. (21.5x) skews the group.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be -45% versus today.

The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 21.1x, Russia 3.7x, South Africa 5.1x, Kazakhstan 4.6x, India 17.0x, Indonesia 5.3x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-10-27; the company's own is live.
