Financial indicators available:
Wiki-link the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the |revenue=
parameter.
Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.
{{Unbulleted list|{{Increase}} US$128,064,032 (2011)|US$111,586,447 (2010)}}
You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. Use
to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per MOS:NUM.
Do not express results as a decimal such as
. Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.In this example, use {{Increase}} US$963,000,000 (2010)
and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.
