How is this calculated?

An adapted version of Joseph Piotroski's F-score (2000): yes/no rules on the annual accounts, each compared with the previous financial year. SMEs do not file a cash flow statement, so we use profit plus depreciation as cash flow. "Profit comes from operations" replaces the comparison of cash flow and profit, and "no capital injection" replaces "no new shares". Rules without data (such as turnover in the abridged format) drop out, hence "x out of y". Explained step by step, with an example

Return on capital employed16%operating result ÷ (equity + long-term debt)

Stabilitystablegross margin and operating result over 5 years

Net debt ÷ EBITDAnet cashmore cash than financial debt

Equity growth5.1%per year, over 4 years

Stays in the company65.1%of profit, not paid out
