I'm on my phone so don't have it in front of me, but it's in the fillings, and also was in the letters. Found it, thanks. Didn't see the 2019 letter on the list, but assume that's floating around somewhere. Certainly refreshing to see frank discussion of performance: The return on our shareholders’ Average Invested Capital (“ROIC”) dropped to 29% in 2017. The decrease was a function of a slew of new investments with lower ROIC’s and of our increasing cash balance. I expect this metric to continue to drop. Constellation's Organic Net Revenue growth has averaged only 2% during the last decade. This has been disappointing for me and the Operating Group managers. Some of our businesses serve shrinking verticals or those that are otherwise troubled, so we don’t necessarily expect strong organic growth from them. We do expect each business unit (“BU”) to provide constantly evolving software and systems that help their clients refine and strengthen their businesses, even in the face of industry headwinds. In 2017 our Organic Net Revenue growth was 4%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
