Warning signs
- Shareholders diluted The share count rose 7.1% over the year, from 171m to 183m shares. Each existing share owns a smaller fraction of the company than it did a year ago.
- Profit not backed by cash Reported profit of $339.7M came with -$425.8M of operating cash flow. Profit that cash does not follow is the classic signature of aggressive accounting.
