The business in brief

read the 10-K →

What this business is and what moves its needle, from its own SEC filings.

What moves the needle: Operating margin has run around −22% through the cycle on a 81% gross margin, the operating line in the red even at its best — so the lever is whether the spending below the gross line can come down enough to clear a profit: revenue growth against the cost curve, and the cash runway until it does. Stock-based pay runs about 30% of sales, a real and recurring claim on owners that the GAAP margin understates. Read this kind of business on retention and the cost of growth. On its own account, the filing leans hardest on pricing power & competition, set against the numbers in what the filing emphasizes, below.
Is it a good business?: Return on capital has rarely cleared the cost of capital (median −23%, above 15% in 0 of 5 years). The steadier read is owner earnings: roughly 11% of revenue reaches owners as cash, though it swings. This is price-taker territory, where the balance sheet and the cycle matter more than any multiple; the rest is in the 10-K.

Every line is arithmetic on the company's filings, shown in full in the sections below.

Owner-earnings bridge

FY2021–FY2025cash-flow statement, SEC EDGAR →

Net income is the accountant's number; owner earnings is the cash an owner could take out. The walk between them, off the cash-flow statement, and whether the gap is widening or holding.

In fiscal 2025 the business turned $184M of profit into $237M of owner earnings: more cash than the profit line showed, after the non-cash charges and the capital it put back in.

Owner earnings is the cash an owner could pull out without starving the business: operating cash less the capital it must spend to hold its position . The cash-flow statement also adds stock comp back as non-cash, but it is a real cost paid in shares; counted as the expense it is (less $147M), owner earnings is nearer $90M.

Much of fiscal 2025's profit didn't arrive as operating cash; it sits in “working capital & other” above. That can be a real inventory or timing swing, or profit that doesn't run through operating cash at all: a heavy tax year, equity-method earnings, or investment income booked through investing. For a year like this, owner earnings understates the cash earned; the full cash-flow statement carries the rest.

Maintenance capex is estimated as depreciation where a growing business invests above it; free cash flow is the figure the scorecard's free-cash margin reads.

Owner’s Scorecard

FY2025 10-K · source on SEC EDGAR →

Will it survive?

Can it pay its interest? —

No meaningful interest burden

Little or no interest expense reported

What this means
Little or no interest expense reported, the business isn't leaning on lenders to operate.
How heavy is the debt, net of cash? +$781M

Net cash, debt-free

Cash $570M + ST investments $212M − debt $0

What this means
Cash and short-term investments exceed every dollar of debt by $781M, on net the company owes nothing, and can act from strength when others can't. Net debt is the leverage figure that matters: the cash is already set against the debt. Strategic or illiquid investments aren't counted here.
How long is cash tied up? 32d

Tight

DSO 66 + DIO 0 − DPO 33 days

What this means
Days cash is tied up between paying suppliers and collecting from customers. Lower is better; a long cycle means growth itself eats cash. (Little or no inventory, a services / asset-light model, so the inventory leg is ~0.)

Is it a good business?

Return on invested capital —

Not enough data

Industry peers: median -18%

What this means
The filing data didn't include the inputs for this check.
Owner-earnings margin 11%

Solid through the cycle

7-yr median margin, range -8%–28%; latest $237M = operating cash $242M − maintenance capex $6M

Industry peers: median 5%

What this means
What an owner could take out without starving the business: operating cash less the maintenance capital it must spend to hold its position — Buffett's owner earnings. That's 28% of revenue this year, a 11% median across 7 years. Treating stock comp as the real expense it is (less $147M of SBC) leaves $90M.
Are earnings backed by cash? 1.32×

Cash-backed

Cash from ops $242M ÷ net income $184M

What this means
How much of reported profit showed up as operating cash. Above 1× is reassuring; well below suggests earnings lean on accruals. One year is noisy, growth and working-capital swings distort it, and this is operating cash, not free cash. Watch the multi-year trend.

How is the cash used?

Where do the earnings go? 163%

Returned more than it generated

Dividends + buybacks $386M ÷ Owner Earnings $237M — this fiscal year

What this means
The company returned more than it generated: against $237M of Owner Earnings, $386M (163%) went back to shareholders, $0 dividends, $386M buybacks — the excess came from the balance sheet or borrowing, not the year's operations. Net of $147M stock comp, the real buyback was about $239M. Sustained, that pattern draws down cash or adds debt; the net-debt line above shows where it stands. This year's proportion is 163%; across the record (2019–2025) it is 83%, the capital-allocation section below.
Investing or harvesting? 0.22×

Harvesting

Capex $6M ÷ depreciation & amortization as filed $26M

What this means
Descriptive, not a grade. Above ~1× means investing faster than assets wear out (growth, or, sustained for years, today's earnings carrying less depreciation than tomorrow's will). Below means spending less than it's wearing out (efficiency, or a melting asset base). The ratio won't tell you which; the filings will.

The promise and the pay packet

What does winning a customer cost? 47%

Growth is being bought

Selling and marketing $395M ÷ revenue $839M

Retention and the customer ladder, in the filing’s words

net dollar retention rate108%

“Our net dollar retention rate was 108% and 103% as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.”
✓ the figure is the sentence’s own characters · the prior filing’s figure agrees

Customer countnearly 75,000

“As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had nearly 75,000 and over 72,200 paying customers, respectively.”

Customers from $50,000approximately 3,760

“We had approximately 3,760 customers each contributing $50,000 or more in ARR as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 23% compared to 3,053 customers as of December 31, 2024.”

What this means
Sales and marketing as a share of revenue, kept apart from administrative overhead because it answers a different question: how much a business must spend to win the next customer. A company whose product pulls customers in spends little here and keeps the difference; one that must buy its growth is running to stand still, and the spending has to keep rising for revenue to keep rising. Read it beside the growth rate, not alone.
Is the buyback buying ownership, or mopping up? 17.5%

Stock pay, share count unread

Stock compensation $147M (fiscal 2025), 17.5% of revenue · repurchases $386M · the share count is not comparable across these years (a split or a first listing sits in the record), so the drift is withheld

What this means
Stock handed to employees is a real cost paid in the owner's own currency: it is charged against profit, but the shares it creates are permanent. Many companies repurchase stock at the same time, which looks like a return of capital and often is not — if the count barely moves, the cash merely cancelled the pay packet and bought the owner nothing. The three states worth telling apart are a count genuinely shrinking, a count standing still despite large repurchases, and a count rising because the issuance was never offset at all.

Graham’s defensive tests · 1 of 3 met

Graham’s numerical criteria for the defensive investor (The Intelligent Investor, ch. 14), run on the filings. A floor of safety, not a buy signal; many fine modern businesses fail his strictest liquidity rules by design.

Adequate size Miss

Revenue ≥ $2B · $839M

What this means
Big enough to weather a storm. Graham's 1972 floor was ~$100M of sales (≈ $700M today); we use a $2B revenue line as a conservative modern stand-in.
Strong liquidity Pass

Current ratio ≥ 2× · 2.20×

What this means
Current assets at least twice current liabilities, near-term bills covered without touching the business. Strict by design: many cash-rich modern firms run leaner and miss it, holding their cushion in longer-dated securities.
Earnings stability Miss

A profit every year (7-yr record) · 6 loss years

What this means
Graham wanted earnings in each of the past ten years, the stability a defensive owner leans on.
Dividend record —

Uninterrupted dividends · no dividend line tagged in the data

What this means
An unbroken dividend was Graham's mark of durability. This record carries no dividends-paid line in any year — common for partnerships, whose distributions file under tags the chain doesn't read — so the criterion is withheld rather than judged on silence.
Earnings growth —

Earnings +33% over the record · —

What this means
Earnings were negative early in the record, a growth rate isn't meaningful.
Moderate price —

P/E ≤ 15 and P/E × P/B ≤ 22.5 · decided by the price

What this means
Graham's valuation gate, the wall he kept between a sound business and a sound investment. Three-year average earnings are $-0.06/share (latest year $0.66), the averaged base the calculator's gate runs on, and book value is $3.72/share. Enter a price in “What the price implies” just below for the P/E, P/B, and whether it clears. But this is the rule Buffett outgrew: there's no hard P/E law, and a wonderful business can deserve a far richer multiple if the thesis holds, treat it as the bargain-hunter's floor, not a verdict on the price.

Durability & moat, 2019–2025

Whether the record’s returns held, and what the capital reinvested earned.

Profitable years 1 of 7

What this means
Lost money in 6 year(s), look at what happened there before trusting the average.
Operating margin −32% → −15% (3-yr avg ends)

What this means
Through the cycle the operating margin widened — about −32% early to −15% lately, median −22% — pricing power intact or improving.
Owner earnings growth +75%/yr

What this means
Owner earnings grew about 75% a year over the record.
Worst year 2021 · −55.2% op. margin

What this means
Operations went underwater in 2021, understand why before trusting the good years.

How the cash was used, 2019–2025

Over the record, the business generated $522M of operating cash; how management split it reads as a cash returner, paying most of what it earns straight back to owners.

Reinvested$46M · 9%
Buybacks$400M · 77%
Retained (debt / cash)$77M · 15%

Returned to owners$400M
83% of the owner earnings the business produced over the span, $0 as dividends and $400M as buybacks.
Source of fundingOperating cash
Operating cash covered reinvestment and returns; over the span cash and short-term investments rose $589M.
Average price paid for buybacks$13.90
Across the years where the filing reports a share count, 1M shares were bought for $14M, about $13.90 each.
Net change in share count265.1%
The diluted count rose from 76M to 278M: issuance (stock pay, deals) outran any buybacks, so owners were diluted on net.
Dividend record—
No dividend line was reported in the filing data over the span; the record here neither confirms nor rules out a payout.

Buybacks are gross of stock issued to staff; the share-count line above is the net of that, the figure that decides whether owners gained. The average price paid blends a year of purchases (and any accelerated repurchase), so it is close, not exact. The record of where the cash went and on what terms.

Management, ownership & pay

read the proxy →

From the proxy: how much of the business the people running it own, and how they are paid, beside what the business earned for its owners in the same years.

Fiscal year	Chief executive	Pay, as filed	“Actually paid”	Owner earnings
2021	—	$234.0M	$241.5M	$6M
2022	—	$517k	−$96.7M	($10M)
2023	—	$962k	$47.1M	$84M
2024	Mr. Woodside	$15.0M	−$11.6M	$151M
2024	—	$18.9M	−$61.3M	$151M
2025	Mr. Woodside	$15.6M	$8.3M	$237M

Both pay figures are the company’s own, from the pay-versus-performance table its proxy statement files. “As filed” is the Summary Compensation Table total: salary, bonus, and equity awards at their value on the day of grant. “Actually paid” is the SEC’s prescribed recalculation, which re-marks those equity awards to what they became as they vested; it can swing far above or below the filed figure in either direction, and negative years occur. Owner earnings are the whole business's, from the record above, for the same fiscal years. A dash under the name means the filing tags the figure without naming the officer.

Insider ownership3.5%
The stake all directors and executive officers hold together, per the 2026 proxy: skin in the game, the first thing Munger reads.
CEO pay ratio354:1
What the chief earns for every dollar the median employee makes, per the 2026 proxy. A high ratio alone settles nothing; some businesses are genuinely top-heavy in scarce skill. A runaway figure is where Buffett starts asking whether the board is doing its job.
Stock-based compensation$147M
The slice of the business handed to employees in shares in fiscal 2025, 17.5% of revenue, equal to 1111.8% of operating profit. Buffett's oldest accounting fight: this is compensation, compensation is an expense, real whether or not the headline earnings admit it. One trap: the cash-flow statement adds SBC back, so the operating cash, and the owner earnings drawn from it, are flattered by exactly this amount; counted as the cost it is, what an owner keeps is lower.

The price

What the price implies

reverse-DCF

Type today's close and see the owner-earnings growth you'd have to believe to justify it, beside what Freshworks Inc. has delivered.

Freshworks Inc.’s latest year runs above its own through-cycle margin — the reported figure may flatter a peak. So the tool opens on the through-cycle base, Graham’s averaging cutting both ways; clear the toggle below to read the latest year exactly as reported.

Today’s price $

Through the cycle, Freshworks Inc. earns about $95M on its 11.3% median owner-earnings margin. This year’s 28.2% margin runs above that; the reported figure may flatter a peak you'd be paying on. Normalize, below, values the price on that through-cycle figure rather than the latest year. It comes pre-checked here for that reason, the same rule that already normalizes a trough; clear it to price the year as filed.

Graham capped the multiple at 15×; Buffett and Munger let that rule go: a wonderful business can deserve 50× if the thesis holds. The gate marks the bargain-hunter's floor.

Against a high-grade bond: Graham’s yardstick bond yield%

Prefilled with the 10-year Treasury (4.71%, as of Aug 18, 2026). Edit it for today’s exact figure, or a AAA corporate yield.

Graham measured a stock against the bond you could own instead, the heart of his margin of safety. Enter a price above to weigh the owner-earnings yield against this bond.

Free cash flow $234M on 278M shares outstanding (a weighted basic average, the only count this filer tags); net cash $664M. The base opens on the through-cycle figure (the latest year sits above the record’s own median, and Graham’s averaging cuts both ways); clear Normalize to use the year as filed. Net of stock comp treats option pay as the expense it is. Capex ($13M) runs well above depreciation ($29M), so this is a build-out; Steady-state swaps total capex for maintenance (≈ depreciation), lifting the base to about $241M, the cash it would throw off if it stopped expanding. The dials set the multiple a growth belief justifies; the price, and every dollar on this page, is yours.
