Flows TTM (last 4 quarters); latest annual for: EPS (Diluted), Revenue, EBIT, Net Income, Interest Expense · EPS TTM $2.76 · revenue TTM $646.9M · FCF TTM $1.4M

Synthetic-rating coverage uses the latest fiscal year's EBIT over the SAME year's interest expense (no trailing-twelve-month interest could be formed from the quarterly tagging) — a matched-window ratio, never TTM earnings over annual interest.
Cash-flow figures use the latest fiscal year: this filer tags quarterly cash flows year-to-date only and the missing discrete quarters could not be derived (irregular fiscal quarters or a tagging change), so no four consecutive quarters exist to sum.
No four consecutive quarters could be summed for EPS (Diluted), Revenue, EBIT, Net Income, Interest Expense; these figures use the latest fiscal year, not a trailing twelve months.
Some figures named '(TTM)' on this payload are the latest FISCAL YEAR, not a trailing twelve months — ebitda_ttm, eps_ttm, fcf_ttm, net_income_ttm, owner_earnings_ttm, revenue_ttm (fiscal year ended 2026-03-31). No four consecutive quarters could be summed for them — for an IFRS 20-F filer that is every income-statement line (no quarterly income statement is tagged to EDGAR at all); for a US filer it is usually one line the quarterly tagging skips. Each field's own basis is on field_basis.

Not a forecast: each row re-prices today's filed earnings at a multiple this company itself once traded at. It abstains rather than guess on a loss year or a broken per-share basis.

Reconstructed point-in-time · 141 monthly snapshots 2014-12 → 2026-08 · 139 reconstructed, 2 live 2 forward-captured

Every month uses only what was filed by then, split-adjusted. Delisted names are absent and a trough year can throw one huge reading, so read the median, not the edges.
