Revenue compounded at +5.4% a year over five years — but profit grew faster: net income at +14.9%, earnings per share at +13.6%.

The share count fell from 0.05B to 0.05B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.

Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
