1 Value of Gap calculated using Target's financial metric for Most Recent Fiscal year compared to Benchmark year.

 The Trend Gap Analysis provides a consistent year over year analysis of a company's financial performance. Since the analysis compares the target company's current year to the target company's historical results, the financials typically provide an accurate picture of trends since product/geo mix, cost structures and accounting methods don't vary much from period to period for the same company. Exceptions to this include significant acquisitions/mergers, divestitures and accounting or account classification changes.

Example of how to interpret this Trend Gap Analysis Table: If HSBC HOLDINGS PLC could have improved % OTHER NON-INTEREST EXPENSE from their current year figure of 35.5% to their benchmark year (2008) of 21.9%, it would have resulted in a 1st year cash flow benefit of 11258.58 (Mil - USD).
