From a very thorough review of SEC filings, I found 21 Companies headquartered in the State of Utah with Stock Market Capitalizations of at least $100 mil now and also with annual audited financial statements filed with the SEC which included financial information covering all years from 2008 to 2013.
I included Sweden Headquartered, Auto Supplier Autoliv among these 21 Utah Companies since it has a Utah SEC State Location Code filing and since it has a majority of its Total Assets in the Americas and with its two largest customers being General Motors and Ford.
These 21 Utah Companies generated Total Audited Earnings from Continuing Operations of $5.628 bil in the most recent three fiscal years combined (2012 through 2014), which was a very impressive $5.262 bil Three Year Earnings Improvement, or an increase of 1,438% above the comparable Total Audited Earnings of $366 mil in the three fiscal years combined (2008 through 2010).
Among others, President Obama, Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, country-first-over-political-party Utah US Senator Orrin Hatch, and very effective Utah Governor Gary Herbert have all undoubtedly helped in this massive earnings improvement of Utah Companies.
Below here are the Audited Earnings (Losses) of each of these 21 largest Utah Companies for each of the Fiscal Year Ends (FYEs) 2007 through 2014:
