Loss Making Entity over the past 5 years
FB has been unable to maintain profitability. It's Costs of Sales have outstripped Revenue consistently.
This is a huge red flag, unless the company has been investing heavily for the future.
However, even that is dubious since accurately predicting the future of a company like that is extremely difficult.
$4.73 of every $100 of Revenue have been a loss, on average over the past 5 years.

Strong Pricing Power over the past 5 years
FB has maintained substantial gross margins, suggesting that they have been able to set prices without consideration of the cost of goods sold.
This potentially leaves flexibility in inflationary environments to raise prices on consumers and maintain profitability.
$70.15 of every $100 worth of sales have been Gross Profit, on average over the past 5 years.

Medium Capital Intensity over the past 5 years
FB has used a reasonable amount of their financial resources to invest in facilities and equipment required to produce its goods and services.
This isn't perfect, but it shouldn't be an area of concern unless this number is strongly trending upwards.
41.12% of Profits are being spent on Capital Expenditures, like Property, Plant, & Equipment, required to run the business.
