Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of the end of the period.
(c)
Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total equity as of the end of the period.
(d)
Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of the end of the period.
(e)
Includes independent research and development and Gulfstream product-development costs.
(f)
Sales per employee is calculated by dividing revenues for the latest 12-month period by our average number of employees during that period.
(g)
We believe free cash flow from operations is a measurement that is useful to investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our core businesses for such purposes as repaying maturing debt, funding business acquisitions and paying dividends. We use free cash flow from operations to assess the quality of our earnings and as a performance measure in evaluating management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow from operations is net cash provided by operating activities.

The estimated potential contract value represents management's estimate of our future contract value under unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options associated with existing firm contracts, including options to purchase new aircraft and long-term agreements with fleet customers, as applicable. Because the value in the unfunded IDIQ arrangements is subject to the customer's future exercise of an indeterminate quantity of orders, we recognize these contracts in backlog only when they are funded. Unexercised options are recognized in backlog when the customer exercises the option and establishes a firm order.
Note: Prior period information has been restated to reflect our axle business in discontinued operations.
