Value Grade:

The Value Score is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of the price-to-sales ratio, price-earnings ratio, enterprise-value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, shareholder yield, price-to-book-value ratio and price-to-free-cash-flow ratio. The score is variable, meaning it can consider all six ratios or, should any of the six ratios not be valid, the remaining ratios that are valid. To be assigned a Value Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) ratio and corresponding ranking for at least two of the six valuation ratios.

ISSC has a Value Score of 35, which is considered to be Expensive.

Growth Grade:

The components of the Growth Composite Score consider a company's success in growing sales on a year‐over‐year (YoY) and long(er)‐term annualized basis and its ability to consistently generate positive cash from its core operations.

The Five-Year Sales Growth Score looks at a company's percentile ranking for its annualized growth in sales over the past five years. The sales of Innovative Aerosystems, Inc. have been growing by an average of 31.3% a year over the last five years. This ranks in the 40th percentile among all U.S.‐listed stocks.

The Five‐Year Sales Growth Score awards higher weightings for five‐year sales growth that ranks in the middle 60% of the stock universe, while lower weightings are awarded to those companies at the extremes—either too high or too low. The weightings for all companies in the stock universe are then ranked.

Innovative Aerosystems, Inc.'s five‐year average annual sales growth rank of 40 translates into a Five‐Year Sales Growth Score of 40.

Innovative Aerosystems, Inc. has seen its sales increase year over year for 5 out of the past five fiscal years.

This translates into a Year-Over-Year Sales Increases Score of 100.

The Year-Over-Year Sales Increases Score is based on a company's historical record of generating year-over-year increases in sales. A weighting of zero (0) is awarded when there have been no annual increases in sales over the past five years. At the same time, a weighting of 100 is awarded when a company has seen its sales increase in each of the past five years. The weightings for all companies in the stock universe are then ranked.

Innovative Aerosystems, Inc. has generated positive annual cash from operations in 5 out of the past five fiscal years.

This translates into a Five-Year Positive Cash From Operations Score of 100.

The Five-Year Positive Cash From Operations Score is based on a company's historical record of generating positive cash from operations on an annual basis. A weighting of zero (0) is awarded when there have been no fiscal years of positive cash from operations over the past five years. At the same time, a weighting of 100 is awarded when a company has generated positive cash from operations for each of the past five fiscal years. The weightings for all companies in the stock universe are then ranked.

To arrive at the Growth Composite Score, the ranks of these three scores are added together, and the sum is ranked against the entire stock universe.

The sum of the three scores for Innovative Aerosystems, Inc. is 240. This, in turn, ranks in the 69th percentile among all U.S.-listed scores.

This Growth Composite Score translates into a Growth Grade of B for Strong.

Momentum Grade:

The weighted four-quarter relative strength rank is the relative price change for each of the past four quarters. The most recent quarterly price change is given a weight of 40% and each of the three previous quarters given a weighting of 20%.

Momentum is based on the price change of a stock over a specified period relative to all other stocks. It is considered to be an anomaly in the analysis of stock returns because stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to continue to outperform, while stocks with low relative levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming.

ISSC has a weighted relative strength value of 5.0%. This translates into a momentum score of 70, which is Strong.

Estimate Revisions Grade:

Investing based on analyst estimates looks for revisions in the consensus estimates as well as earnings surprises (actual earnings deviating from the consensus estimate). Academic studies have shown that companies that have seen strong upward earnings revisions or have reported significant earnings surprises can see an impact on share prices for up to a year.

The components examine the magnitude of a company's earnings surprises for the last two reported fiscal quarters as well as the change in the consensus estimate for the current fiscal year over the last month and three months.

ISSC has a estimate revisions score of 72, which is Positive.

Quality Grade:

The Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of the return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z Double Prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F-Score. The score is variable, meaning it can consider all eight measures or, should any of the eight measures not be valid, the remaining measures that are valid. To be assigned a Quality Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) measure and corresponding ranking for at least four of the eight quality measures.

The Quality Score is used to assess the “quality” of a particular stock. A higher quality stock possesses traits associated with upside potential and reduced downside risk.

Stocks receive better grades (higher scores) for having higher scores for the quality sub-components and worse grades (lower scores) for lower scores for the sub-components.

ISSC has a quality score of 72, which is Strong.
