Record Return on Invested Capital in 2023
Sources: Company data. ROIC metric uses after-tax operating income for the trailing 12 months divided by average stockholders' equity, debt, and deferred taxes, net of average cash.
To mitigate the volatility related to fluctuations in the company's tax rate from period to period, the U.S. federal corporate statutory tax rates of 21% and 35% were used to calculate after-
tax operating income for 2018-2023 and 2013-2017, respectively.
