The data, with a couple of exceptions, gets updated once a year, at the start of the year (some time in the first two weeks of each year). In computing the statistics, the data used will reflect the most updated numbers I can find for each company, which at the start of each year, will reflect trailing 12-month data through the third quarter of the prior year. While most of the statistics are ratios or percentages, if there are absolute values, they are in millions of US dollars.
