The quantitative screen above is arithmetic. Separately, community boycott lists cite this company: Documented on Don’t Buy Into Occupation — category: Corporate Complicity Report / Annex 2 Company List. The desk records that flag here without folding it into the verdict: the screen measures the balance sheet, the overlay informs the conscience, and they are different judgements that belong to different owners. The second one is yours.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
