Where these numbers come from

Every column links to the filing it comes from on EDGAR. Last 12 months adds the latest year to date to the last 10-K and takes away the same months a year earlier. Debt is long-term debt including the part due within a year. A dash means the company did not report that line in a form we can read, never a zero. Market cap uses the latest closing price and the share count from the cover of the latest filing. How we count
