Is the business good?
The checks split: earnings fully cash-backed (1.7×) and margins widening, but returns that lean on debt.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash. Conversion is improving vs a year ago.
Positive operating leverage, operating profit is growing faster than sales, so margins widen as the business scales.
Leverage-amplified, a high assets-to-equity ratio does much of the work. ROE 3816% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.
