- Cost of revenue
- R&D
- Sales, admin & other
- Tax & other
- Net profit
Band widths are the money. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue; operating expenses are gross profit less operating profit; R&D is from the income statement and the rest of the operating expenses is everything else; tax includes interest and other items when they are small. Y/Y is the change from the fiscal year before. Revenue by part only for the years in the last two 10-Ks' segment tables. The full income statement →

From SEC's XBRL company facts (data.sec.gov). EBITDA = operating income + depreciation and amortization; free cash flow = operating cash flow - capital spending; total debt = long-term debt (with its current part) + short-term borrowings. Stock-based pay and leases are shown as the company reports them; Tickdelta does not take them out of earnings or add leases to debt.
