Update

When a new version of the app becomes available, you will see a notification in your workspace:

Who does what and where?

 

Main financial measures 

Assets

An asset represents an economic resource owned or controlled by a company. An economic resource is something that may be scarce and has the ability to produce economic benefit by generating cash inflows or decreasing cash outflows.

Cost of goods sold   

Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs of producing the goods sold by a company. This amount includes the cost of the materials and labor directly used to create the good. It excludes indirect expenses, such as distribution costs and sales force costs.

Current Cashflow     

Transactions related with cash movement (cash, bank)

EBIT

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is a company’s net income before income taxes. It is used to analyze the performance of a company’s core operations without tax expenses and the costs of the capital structure influencing profit

EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (used as an indicator of the overall profitability of a business)

Gross profit

The amount of money a company earns from its core business operations after deducting the cost of goods sold (COGS)

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin is a metric analysts use to assess a company’s financial health by calculating the amount of money left over from product sales after subtracting the cost of goods sold (COGS). Gross profit margin is frequently expressed as a percentage of sales.

Liquidity ratio

The liquidity ratio measures the company’s ability to cover its short-term obligations with its current assets. It is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. A higher current ratio indicates a better ability to meet short-term obligations.

Net profit/loss

A measure of a company’s profitability after deducting all expenses, including both operating and non-operating costs, from its total revenue

Revenue

Revenue is the total amount of income generated by the sale of goods and services related to the primary operations of the business

ROA

ROA stands for Return on Assets. It is a financial ratio that measures a company’s profitability by evaluating its ability to generate earnings from its assets.

ROE

ROE stands for Return on Equity. It is a financial ratio that measures a company’s profitability by evaluating the return it generates on the shareholders’ equity. ROE indicates how effectively a company utilizes its shareholders’ investments to generate profits.

Total liabilities

A liability is something that company owes

Working capital

Working capital refers to the difference between a company’s current assets and current liabilities. It represents the funds available to a company for its day-to-day operations, such as paying suppliers, covering operating expenses, and managing short-term obligations.
