Earnings can be decomposed into cash and accrual components. The accrual component (aggregate accruals) has been found to have less persistence than the cash component, and therefore (1) earnings with higher accrual component are less persistent than earnings with smaller accrual component, all else equal; and (2) the cash component of earnings should receive a higher weighting evaluating company performance.

1 2022 Calculation
Net operating assets = Operating assets – Operating liabilities
= 3,241,720 – 1,416,484 = 1,825,236
2 2022 Calculation
Balance-sheet-based aggregate accruals = Net operating assets2022 – Net operating assets2021
= 1,825,236 – 1,276,140 = 549,096
3 2022 Calculation
Balance-sheet-based accruals ratio = 100 × Balance-sheet-based aggregate accruals ÷ Avg. net operating assets
= 100 × 549,096 ÷ [(1,825,236 + 1,276,140) ÷ 2] = 35.41%
