Sales (revenue)
Money from selling the company's products and services, before any costs.
How Tickdelta computes it
Revenue of the last twelve months
TTM means the last twelve months: the last fiscal year, plus this year's year-to-date and minus last year's, both from the latest 10-Q when it is newer than the 10-K.
Several line items can mean revenue. When a filing reports more than one, the largest is used, because REITs, insurers and banks tag only a part (contract revenue without rent, premiums or interest) with the first one. Banks that tag no total get net interest income plus noninterest income.

The first line item the filing reports is used. On a company page, hover or tap the number to see which one it was and the filing it came from; click it to open that filing at SEC.
More in Income
Net income
Profit after every cost, interest and tax: the bottom line.
EPS
Net income per share, counting the shares that options and convertibles could add (diluted).
EBITDA
Operating profit before the cost of wearing out equipment and intangibles. A non-GAAP measure: companies define their own, often with more items added back, so theirs can differ from this one.
Operating cash flow
Cash the business itself brought in, before investing and financing. It differs from net income because of non-cash items and timing.
Free cash flow
Cash left from operations after paying for equipment and buildings. Not a GAAP measure.
Not investment advice. A metric describes what was filed; it does not say whether a stock is cheap or good. Something wrong here? Tell us.
