1. Income Statement Comp Sheets
a. Mature Growth Cohort Valuation Comp Sheet
Caveats:
Fiscal calendars don’t perfectly match.
Some firms only report GAAP EBIT without adjustments. Non-GAAP adjustments for this cohort of companies are a lot less aggressive than for the fast-growth cohort, so I just left things as is.
b. Fast Growth Cohort Valuation Comp Sheet
Caveats:
Fiscal calendars don’t perfectly match.
I used net income here instead of EBIT. This makes comps apples-to-apples for more firms (more make adjustments to net income than just EBIT). And for this group, non-GAAP adjustments are more aggressive and material. That means making sure they're similar on a company-by-company basis is more important. Furthermore, mark-to-market equity valuation changes that routinely impact net income for the other cohort only impact Axon in this group.
I used pre-tax income for Axon. Net income is a bad metric for this name due to the unpredictable impact of share price swings on its payroll taxes and its equity portfolio. I raised the P/E by 5 turns to emulate taxation.
