Key figures

• Operating margin -9.5%　Operating income ÷ revenue 　＝ US$-14.1 billion ÷ US$147.7 billion
  The denominator is revenue under U.S. GAAP (consolidated, U.S. GAAP).
• Net assets to total assets 12.9%　Stockholders' equity ÷ total assets 　＝ US$10.4 billion ÷ US$81.0 billion
  Calculated here from stockholders' equity and total assets (no equity-to-asset ratio disclosed by U.S. companies; the Japanese field is the company's own disclosed value)
• Net margin -5.8%　Net income ÷ revenue 　＝ US$-8.6 billion ÷ US$147.7 billion
  
• Return on equity -82.7%　Net income ÷ stockholders' equity 　＝ US$-8.6 billion ÷ US$10.4 billion
  Calculated here (not a value the company disclosed)

Data sources and calculation methods

Primary source: the SEC’s EDGAR: Form 10-K of WALGREENS BOOTS ALLIANCE, INC. (CIK 1618921), free to read
Accounting standard: U.S. GAAP / Form: 10-K / Filed: 2024-10-15 / Accession number: 0001618921-24-000084

• Amounts: machine transcription of XBRL filed with the SEC’s EDGAR (bulk companyfacts), no manual re-keying. In dollars, not converted to yen (an exchange rate would produce a figure that was never disclosed)
• Annual values: full-year figures in the Form 10-K only. Where a restatement gives more than one value for a period, the more recently filed one. Each five-year series from a single element (tag)
• Revenue: the company’s elements checked in the order Revenues → RevenueFromContractWithCustomer… → SalesRevenueNet, taking the one with the most recent period. What “revenue” covers may differ between companies
• Net income: attributable to the parent’s shareholders. Stockholders’ equity: excluding non-controlling interests (the figure including them on a separate row)
• ★: position of values calculated from disclosed figures among U.S. companies, on a five-step scale. Separate from Japanese companies because of different accounting standards. Finance (SIC 6000s) in its own set, as revenue is defined differently
• Equity-to-asset ratio: no rank (higher or lower is not better or worse). Calculated here as stockholders’ equity ÷ total assets, as U.S. companies do not disclose it (for Japanese companies the field is the company’s disclosed value). Return on equity also calculated here
• Industry: first two digits of the SEC’s SIC code. A different classification from the Japanese industry categories (FSA), so shown separately from Japanese companies
• Segment breakdown, profit-and-loss flow and cost breakdown: not published (bulk companyfacts holds company-wide figures only). Nothing drawn from guesswork
• Share prices: not used. Employee counts: only where the 10-K XBRL carries them as a number
