Notes on these figures

Most of the reported profit is a tax credit, not money earned from customers. We leave out the P/E and the earnings growth, which would not compare with a company that paid tax.

Each multiple at the closing price of the fiscal year's last trading day and the same year's figures. A year with a loss or negative free cash flow has no P/E or P/FCF. A P/E or P/FCF above 100 is left out: it comes from a year of near-zero earnings or cash flow and says little about the price.

+9.3%a year for ten years

Over the last 5 years it grew by -25.7% a year.

at 7% a year: +4.5%
at 9% a year: +9.3%
at 11% a year: +13.4%

Arithmetic on the price, not a forecast. Starts from free cash flow of $763M over the last 12 months and net debt $4.1B, the same growth each year for ten years, then 2.5% a year forever. Try other numbers in the DCF calculator.
