Growth compares the latest twelve months with the twelve before. A quarter a company reports only inside a year-to-date total is the difference of the two totals it filed; a ratio is shown only when both sides cover the same four quarters. Backlog is remaining performance obligations, with its change on a year earlier. A dash means the company does not report that line.
