Financial Statements

Income Statement

The income statement shows revenue, expenses, profits, and margins over a period of time.

It helps investors understand whether the company is growing, whether it is profitable, and whether its margins are improving or weakening.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet shows what the company owns and owes at a specific point in time.

Investors use it to evaluate cash, debt, assets, liabilities, and financial resilience.

Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement shows how cash enters and leaves the business.

Free cash flow is especially important because it reveals how much cash may be available after necessary investment in the business.
