12 Month Yield is the sum of a fund's total trailing 12-month interest and dividend payments divided by the last month's ending share price (NAV) plus any capital gains distributed over the same period. Basis point: A basis point is one hundredth of one percent, used chiefly in expressing differences of interest rates.Bond Ratings: All fund securities have been rated by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization such as Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch. When a bond is rated by more than one organization, Smead Value Fund uses the highest rating available. Credit quality ratings pertain to the underlying securities of the fund and not to the fund itself. Book Value: A company's common stock equity as it appears on a balance sheet, equal to total assets minus liabilities, preferred stock, and intangible assets such as goodwill.Capital expenditure, or CapEx, are funds used by a company to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as property, industrial buildings or equipment.Cash Flow: A revenue or expense stream that changes a cash account over a given period.Cash Flow From Operating Activities (CFO): Cash flow from operating activities is reported on the cash flow statement in a company's quarterly and annual reports.CDS Spread: The buyer of the protection in a credit default swap pays a premium to the seller, and this premium is called the CDS spread.Cash dividend coverage ratio: a ratio that helps in estimating the company’s ability to meet its dividend payouts using only operating cash flows.Debt/Equity: A measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities by stockholders' equity.Debt/Total Capital: A company's debt-to-capital ratio or D/C ratio is the ratio of its total debt to its total capital, its debt and equity combined.Dividend yield is represented as a percentage and can be calculated by dividing the dollar value of dividends paid in a given year per share of stock held by the dollar value of one share of stock.Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a measure of a company's operating performance. Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Fixed-charge coverage ratio: A measure of a firm's ability to meet its fixed-charge obligations.Free Cash flow: measures the cash generating capability of a company by adding non-cash charges (e.g. depreciation) and interest expense to pretax income. Free cash flow per share is a measure of a company's financial flexibility that is determined by dividing free cash flow by the total number of sharesoutstanding.
