=582.132 * ( 1 - 28.3% )/( (0 + 1744.61)/ 1 )
=417.388644/1744.61
=23.92 %

where

Invested Capital(Q: Mar. 2026 )
=Total Assets - Accounts Payable & Accrued Expense - Excess Cash
=Total Assets - Accounts Payable & Accrued Expense - ( Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities - max(0, Total Current Liabilities - Total Current Assets+Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities))

=602.728/( ( (0 + max(0, 0)) + (1162.701 + max(264.304, 0)) )/ 1 )
=602.728/( ( 0 + 1427.005 )/ 1 )
