About these figures
- The share count goes from 74M in 2013 to 171M in 2014, far more than buybacks or new shares explain — usually an IPO, a reverse split or a reorganization that the data are not adjusted for. Per-share figures and share counts before 2014 are therefore left out.
- No dividends per share in the filings data. Usually that means no dividend, but some companies report theirs in a form the data do not capture.
- No full-year figures for 2011: the filings do not report it as one twelve-month period (this happens after a reorganization or a change of fiscal year).
- Older years are as filed at the time and may predate later restatements, mergers or spin-offs. How the figures are made.
