28 cents of every revenue dollar became profit this year.
Earnings covered only a fraction of the dividend — the rest came from cash or borrowing.
Each USD of equity produced 30 cents of profit this year.
USD 5.0B in dividends and USD 1.5B in buybacks — 129% of the year's profit, so the payout drew on cash built up earlier.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where the series crosses a loss.
A share split breaks the comparison across the period, so we leave it out.
Net debt stands at 67% of equity.
