Viterra  (ASX:VTA) EPS (Basic) Explanation

EPS is the single most important variable used by Wall Street in determining the earnings power of a company. But investors need to be aware that Earnings per Share can be easily manipulated by adjusting depreciation and amortization rate or non-recurring items. That's why GuruFocus lists EPS without NRI, which better reflects the company's underlying performance.

Be Aware

Compared with Earnings per share, a company's cash flow is better indicator of the company's earnings power.

If a company's earnings per share is less than cash flow per share over long term, investors need to be cautious and find out why.

Viterra Inc was founded in 1924. The Company's business is managed and reported through three interrelated segments: Grain Handling and Marketing, Agri-products and Processing. In addition, a corporate non-operating segment is reported. Its Grain Handling and Marketing segment mainly handles wheat, durum, barley, canola and pulses. It derives its revenue from accumulating, storing, blending, transporting and marketing these grains from the producer's farm to end-use markets. This segment includes grain storage facilities and special crop processing plants strategically located in the prime agricultural growing regions of North America (primarily Western Canada) and southern Australia. It also has port export terminals located in Canada and South Australia and marketing offices located throughout North America, Australia, Europe and Asia. Its Agri-products segment is engaged in the sale of seed, crop protection products, fertilizer, and small agricultural equipment through a network of retail locations. The agri-products operation includes seed research and development, nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing, and crop protection product formulation and packaging. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2011, the Company added bulk fuel distribution to its agri-products offerings in Western Canada. Its Processing segment extends the Company's value chain by producing food ingredients for consumer products companies and food processors around the world.
