Each company’s own figures, in its own currency. Sales by country follow each company’s definition, usually where the customer is billed. Qualcomm, GlobalFoundries, Texas Instruments, onsemi and Amkor file no figure for China. “4Q” marks the four quarters to the newest 10-Q; it is shown only when that 10-Q gives China’s figure.

They spend $66.5 billion a year on plants and tools, $90.9 billion on research. Capital spending is the cash paid for property, plant and equipment; NVIDIA and Qualcomm count intangible assets in the same line. The latest year is the four quarters to each company’s newest 10-Q: its last fiscal year, plus the quarters since, less the same quarters a year before. TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Micron, Western Digital, Lam Research, KLA and ASML show the fiscal year: TSMC, GlobalFoundries and ASML file no 10-Q, a fiscal year that has just ended has no quarter after it yet, and a 10-Q that leaves out a figure is not used.
