From the balance sheet of September 30, 2026. The retirement and environmental lines and the pension deficit come from the latest annual report when the quarter's filing does not state them, each with its own date. Market value at the price of November 13, 2026. A line is listed when it is at least 0.5% of the market value. A description of the balance sheet, not a valuation.
Earnings quality
How the reported earnings were made, read from the filings. A description, not a score: our tests found no link between these measures and later share returns.
Where the change in earnings per share came from
Diluted earnings per share went from $2.34 in the fiscal year to Dec 31, 2024 to $2.50 in the year to Dec 31, 2025, a change of +$0.17.
Measured by size, 58.9% of the movement came from outside sales and operating margin: interest and other items, the tax rate, what went to others and the share count.
- +$0.09
- +$0.14
- -$0.18
- -$0.01
- +$0.01
- +$0.12
Earnings per share is split as sales times operating margin, plus interest and other items, after tax, times the part that goes to the common shareholders, divided by the diluted share count. Each source's part is its average effect over every order in which the six can change, so the parts add up exactly to the change. From the annual reports; net income over the diluted count matches the earnings per share the company filed within 2%.
Receivables and inventory against sales
In the quarter to Sep 30, 2026, sales were +8.5% on the same quarter a year earlier, and receivables +36.1%. Inventory was +11.6%.
- Days of sales in receivables rose more than at nine in ten S&P 500 companies.
- a year earlier 2 days
- 3 days
Balances at Sep 30, 2026 and Sep 30, 2025, against the sales and cost of sales of the quarter ending on each date; a fourth quarter is the fiscal year less its first nine months. Same quarter against same quarter, so the season is the same.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for receivables that may not be collected was 1.7% of gross receivables at Sep 30, 2026, against 2.3% a year earlier.
At last year's share it would be $704.5K larger. A smaller allowance means a smaller charge for bad debts in profit.
- a year earlier $2.0M
- $2.0M
Taxes: deferred and paid
The deferred part was -3.8% of the tax charge in the year to Dec 31, 2025. The rows show the last 3 years.
Cash taxes paid were 96.6% of the current tax charge in the year to Dec 31, 2025.
- Deferred share, year to Dec 31, 2025-$14M of $369M
- -3.8%
- Deferred share, year to Dec 31, 2024-$7.0M of $356M

- Deferred share, year to Dec 31, 2023-$10M of $329M
- -3.0%
- $370M paid, $383M current
- 96.6%
When profit in the accounts runs ahead of taxable profit, the deferred part grows. It also moves for reasons unrelated to how earnings are booked: tax-law changes, the use of past losses, and the US rule since 2022 that spreads research costs over five years. Where the notes report it, the tax-rate bridge under Debt and obligations shows how the rate gets from the statutory one to the effective one.
A reading is called out when it is above the 90th percentile of the same reading across the S&P 500, or, for a fall, below the 10th, as measured on 9 November 2026. Each part uses only the company's own filings.
