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. Click a number to open the filing in SEC's Inline XBRL viewer, where you can click the same number to see how it is tagged. Values a company later revised show as revised; the Revised numbers tab lists the changes.
