Um what? You seem confused, they didn’t measure a year with 372 or even 364 days. They measured 28 days. And it’s almost a certainty that taking the average spend over the last 28 days and multiplying by 13 is higher than taking the average spend over the last 31 days and multiplying by 12. Especially if we believe their revenue growth numbers.

This is generally true of any growing time series. If you don't want this look at the audited GAAP figures.
