GS Factor Profile

The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our universe of rated stocks)

and its sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth,

Financial Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The

normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may

vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows:

Growth is based on a stock’s forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a

higher percentile indicating a higher growth company.
