And the reason they're the 2 most important metrics is because NOPAT and invested capital, those 2 metrics are used to calculate return on invested capital, free cash flow, and economic value added or economic profit. Those 2 metrics are used to calculate the 3 most important metrics used to determine intrinsic value or intrinsic value growth.
