Understanding Net Income

Why Net Income Matters

Net income is the ultimate measure of accounting profitability. It determines earnings per share (EPS), affects stock valuations through the P/E ratio, and represents the theoretical amount available to shareholders. However, net income can be influenced by accounting choices, which is why value investors often look at cash flow metrics alongside it.

VTOL's net income growth rate of 23.36% (based on log-linear regression of 16 quarters) indicates exceptional profit growth, often valued at premium multiples.

Net Income vs Cash Flow Metrics

Free Cash Flow: $59.5M →

Actual cash generated after capital expenditures. FCF often differs from net income due to depreciation, working capital changes, and capex timing.

Owner Earnings: $112.9M →

Buffett's preferred metric that adds back depreciation but subtracts maintenance capex. Often considered more accurate than net income.

EPS (Diluted): $3.47 →

Net income divided by diluted shares outstanding. The primary driver of the P/E ratio used in valuations.

Revenue: $1.6B →

The top line that net income is derived from. Net margin shows what percentage of revenue becomes profit.

P/E Ratio Analysis

VTOL's P/E ratio of 12.6x means investors pay $12.60 for every $1 of annual earnings. A P/E between 10-15 is typical for mature, slow-growth companies with stable earnings.

Net Margin: Profitability Efficiency
