Accountant Net Income

Closed-book net income by accountant close period.
* Some historical comparisons can be slightly off because certain accountant PDFs bundle multiple periods, include year-end adjustments, or use layouts that make a few closes less directly comparable month to month. In rare anomaly cases, period net income is derived from the change in YTD net income between closes.
