Example
If a Company reports $1 million in quarterly revenue in a 10-Q 1/1/2000, a $10 million yearly revenue on 10/1/2000, and $4 million quarterly revenue in 1/1/2001, the trailing twelve months revenue is calculated as $13 million as follows.
Most Recent Quarter(s) + Most Recent Year - The Corresponding Quarter(s) 12 Months Before the Most Recent Quarter(s)
$4m + $10m - $1m = $13m
The trailing twelve months calculation can also be presented like this:
| 3 months ended Mar 31, 2000 | 12 months ended Dec 31, 2000 | 3 months ended Mar 31, 2001 | 12 months trailing Mar 31, 2001 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US$m | ||||
| Revenue | 1.0 | 10.0 | 4.0 | 13.0 |
| Operating Profit | 0.4 | 1.3 | 0.3 | 1.2 |
| Net income | 0.1 | 0.7 | (0.2) | 0.4 |

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
