What Onex does

Canadian private equity firm that invests its own and client capital across buyouts, credit and other alternative asset strategies.

Earns in two ways: management fees and a share of profits, called carried interest, on funds it runs for outside investors, and gains on selling companies it owns with its own money, so results arrive in lumps as holdings are sold. Founder Gerry Schwartz controls the votes through Super Voting shares.

In one line: Canada's KKR/Blackstone.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
