Historical company performance data
I am looking for historical company performance data that goes back at least 10 years. I could pay for it but if it's free it would be fantastic.
Company performance indicators that I am looking for are:
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
Equity growth rate
Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth rate
Sales growth rate
Free Cash growth rate
Price to earnings ratio (PE)
I tried looking in nasdaq.com , finance.yahoo.com and other major sites, but all I could find was daily historic data of stock value changes.

For free, 5 years is somewhat available, and 10 years is available to a limited extent on money.msn.com.
Some are calculated for you.
Gurufocus is also a treasure trove of value statistics that do in fact reach back 10 years.
From the Gurufocus site, the historical P/E can be calculated by dividing their figure for "Earnings per Share" by the share price at the time. It looks like their EPS figure is split adjusted, so you'll have to use the split adjusted share price.
"Free cash", defined in the comments as money held at the end of the year, can be found on the balance sheet as "Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities"; however, the more common term is "free cash flow", and its growth rate can be found at the top of the gurufocus financials page.
I know of no free source for 10 years historical data on a large set of companies. Now, if it's just a single company or small number that interest you, contact Investor Relations at the company(ies) in question; they may be willing to send you the data for free.
The S&P report (aka STARS report) for each company has 10 years of financial data. These reports are available free at several online brokers (like E-Trade) if you have an account with the brokerage.
Morningstar has that 10 history at financials.morningstar.com/ratios/r.html?t=JNJ®ion=usa&culture=en-US
