Two impressive factoids about BHP’s FY2009* results:

• Despite a 16% drop in revenue relative to FY2008, cash flow increased by 6% year-over-year due to cost-cutting and better utilization of working capital.

• The EBIT‡ margin was 41%, highest of any major company in the mining industry.

*Fiscal year ends on June 30.
‡Earnings before interest and taxes.

the foremost piece of B.S. ever promulgated
