Agios Pharmaceuticals (AGIO) Q4 FY2021 earnings: the quarter the year does not yet give
Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AGIO) files the full year and not its fourth quarter on its own, and for Q4 FY2021, the quarter ended 31 December 2021, the year less the first three quarters would not be a quarter of anything: the annual report changed the basis of the year (a business sold or spun off, a line regrouped). The figures fill in once the three quarters are refiled on the new basis. The year itself is on the company's page, from the 10-K filed with the SEC on 23 February 2023.

Fourth quarters are the year less the first three quarters. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and share counts are as they are.Cash flow and capital returned

* The fourth quarter is the full year less the first three quarters, because the company files the year and not the quarter on its own. A fourth quarter left blank is one the arithmetic cannot give yet: the annual report changed the basis of the year (a business sold or spun off, a line regrouped), so the year less the three quarters as first filed would not be a quarter of anything. It fills in once the three quarters have been refiled on the new basis. A blank figure marked on a quarter is one the filings do not give on their own: the quarters as filed do not add to the year the company filed, or the year and its quarters stand on different share counts. Each quarter's page says which. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and the share count are as they are. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Cash flow lines filed year to date are the difference between two filings. Shares outstanding are at the period end where the balance sheet tags them, otherwise the count on the filing's cover page. A derived fourth-quarter EPS is left blank when a split in the year makes the arithmetic meaningless.10-K for the period ended 31 December 2021, filed 23 February 2023: the filing.
