What it is
Financials & Ratios is the fundamentals workspace inside the Equities Data Viewer. It holds seven inner views that sit side by side for the same company:- Income Statement — revenue through net income.
- Balance Sheet — assets, liabilities, and equity.
- Cash Flow — operating, investing, and financing activities.
- Financial Ratios — profitability, valuation, growth, liquidity, leverage, and more.
- Adjusted Metrics — non-GAAP / company-adjusted figures.
- Live Multiples — LTM and NTM valuation multiples over time, with a live current-price column.
- Segments / KPIs — revenue, profit, and KPI breakdowns by business line and geography.
When to use it
Reach for Financials & Ratios when you need the company’s own historical reported fundamentals:- You want to read revenue, margin, and EPS trends over several years or quarters.
- You’re checking balance-sheet strength and cash generation.
- You need profitability, leverage, liquidity, or valuation ratios computed for you.
- You want non-GAAP adjusted figures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, or FFO.
- You want to see where the stock trades on LTM/NTM multiples versus its own history.
- You want to understand how revenue and profit break down by segment and geography.
- You’re building or sanity-checking a model and want a clean, IB-formatted Excel of the financials.
- You want to feed the statements into the AI assistant for follow-up questions.

What you get
The seven views
| View | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Income Statement | The full income statement, revenue through net income, grouped into sections with bold, highlighted totals (Total Revenues, Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Pre-tax Income, Consolidated Net Income, Net Income to Common). Standardized or As Reported, Annual or Quarterly, with an optional TTM column. |
| Balance Sheet | The full balance sheet — assets, liabilities, and equity — with highlighted totals (Total Current Assets, Total Assets, Total Current Liabilities, Total Liabilities, Total Stockholders’ Equity, Total Liabilities & Equity). Standardized or As Reported, Annual or Quarterly, optional TTM. |
| Cash Flow | The full cash flow statement with highlighted subtotals for Cash from Operating / Investing / Financing Activities, Net Change in Cash, and Cash at End of Period. Standardized or As Reported, Annual or Quarterly, optional TTM. |
| Financial Ratios | Computed ratios grouped by category — Profitability, Valuation, Growth, Liquidity, Leverage, Financial Structure, and Size & Market. Handles every format: percentages, multiples (with an “x” suffix, e.g. P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA), per-share figures, day-counts, and currency values (Stock Price, Market Cap, Book Value, NOPAT, FCF, TEV) that scale to K/M/B. Annual or Quarterly, optional TTM. No Standardized / As Reported toggle. |
| Adjusted Metrics | Non-GAAP / company-adjusted figures — Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, FFO, and similar — with per-share metrics bucketed into their own group. Both Annual and Quarterly load together, so switching period is instant. No TTM column and no Standardized / As Reported toggle. |
| Live Multiples | A quarterly valuation-multiples timeline with a live current column driven by a daily price snapshot. Organized into collapsible LTM Valuation Multiples and NTM Valuation Multiples sections, plus a Historical Capitalization section (Market Cap, TEV, share counts). The header shows the company’s industry type and reporting currency. |
| Segments / KPIs | Every segment group the company publishes, each as its own stacked table — e.g. Revenue, Revenue by Geography, Gross Profit, EBIT by Geography, and Key Performance Indicators. Parent (rollup) rows are bold; child segments are indented. |
Key controls
- Standardized vs As Reported — normalized comparable layout, or the statements exactly as filed (core statements only).
- Annual / Quarterly — switch periodicity on every statement, ratio, adjusted-metric, and segment view.
- History window — last 5 years by default, widenable to the current year; Segments use 3/5/7/10-year presets.
- TTM column — a current run-rate column on Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Ratios.
- Number format & column order — Auto/Raw/K/M/B scaling and newest- or oldest-first ordering.
- Metric search and expand / collapse all — find a line item or open every section at once.
- Segments extras — a YoY% growth toggle, a %Tot (percent-of-total) toggle, a newest-first / oldest-first column-order toggle, plus per-segment charting (click a row to chart it).
What you can take away
- Investment-banking-formatted Excel of the current view (navy headers, section shading, double-bordered totals, $mm scaling, format-aware number styles, freeze panes, print setup).
- Full Model workbook — Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Financial Ratios as separate color-coded sheets in one file.
- CSV export for Segments / KPIs (covers the primary segment group, typically Revenue).
- Branded PNG of any chart, with the ticker, period, range, and a legend showing CAGR and total change.
- Bookmarked snapshots of the statement, ratio, and adjusted-metric tables, saved to your bookmarks / Insights.
- Table data sent into the AI chat as structured context.
Data & sources
The financial data in this workspace is sourced from FactSet:- Standardized and as-reported income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement (annual and quarterly).
- Computed financial ratios across profitability, valuation, growth, liquidity, leverage, financial structure, and size & market — each handled in its native format (percent, multiple, days, per-share, currency).
- Trailing-twelve-months (TTM) figures for the statements and ratios.
- Non-GAAP / adjusted metrics — Adjusted Revenue, EBITDA, EPS, FFO, and more — annual and quarterly.
- Quarterly valuation multiples (LTM and NTM) and historical capitalization, including a live daily price snapshot for the current column.
- Company segment and KPI breakdowns — Revenue, Revenue by Geography, Gross Profit, EBIT by Geography, and Key Performance Indicators.
Tips & best practices
- Start broad, then narrow. The default 5-year, annual view is good for trends; widen the year range or switch to quarterly when you need detail, then add TTM for a current run-rate read.
- Use As Reported to reconcile, Standardized to compare. As Reported matches the filing line-for-line; Standardized normalizes the layout so periods (and your mental model) line up cleanly.
- Chart before you export. Tick a few rows to plot revenue, margins, or EPS together — the CAGR and total-change stats give you the trend at a glance, and the chart downloads as a branded PNG.
- Grab the Full Model in one click. When you’re modeling, export the Full Model rather than each sheet separately — you get all three statements plus ratios in one workbook.
- Let the AI read the table for you. Use Add to AI Chat to ask “what’s driving the margin change?” or “summarize the balance-sheet trend” against the exact numbers on screen.
- Check Segments for the “why.” When a headline number moves, the Segments / KPIs view often shows which business line or region drove it — use YoY% and %Tot to see contribution.
Limits & things to know
- History defaults to the last 5 years and can be widened only up to the current year.
- Standardized vs As Reported is available on the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow only — not on Ratios or Adjusted Metrics.
- The TTM column is available on the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Ratios — not on Adjusted Metrics, Live Multiples, or Segments.
- Live Multiples has no year-range, period, number-format, or column-order controls — it’s a fixed quarterly snapshot timeline plus a live current column. It typically populates only the Close sub-row; Average/High/Low daily-ratio history is generally unavailable and those sub-rows are hidden when empty.
- Segments depth is selectable at 3/5/7/10 years. Segment and KPI breakdowns vary by company and may be unavailable for some tickers. Segment-level analyst estimates and actual-vs-estimate comparisons are not available.
- Full Model export is available on the statement, ratio, and Adjusted Metrics views — not on Live Multiples or Segments (Segments export to CSV and Excel separately).
- Coverage is bound to the underlying data provider’s universe.
- Access follows your Data Viewer access; the Financials workspace itself isn’t gated view-by-view. Your period, expand state, and date-range choices are remembered for about a day so the view stays as you left it.

Example workflow
A research analyst sizing up a company’s recent results:- Open the ticker in the Data Viewer and go to Financials & Ratios. It lands on the Income Statement; switch to Quarterly, widen the year range, and turn on TTM to read the current run-rate.
- Tick Total Revenues, Gross Profit, and Operating Profit, and chart them as a combined line/bar view — the CAGR and total-change stats confirm the trend. Download the chart as a PNG for your notes.
- Jump to Segments / KPIs, turn on YoY% and %Tot, and find which business line drove the change. Click that segment row to chart it.
- Switch to Financial Ratios to check margin, leverage, and valuation, then press Add to AI Chat and ask the AI assistant, “What’s behind the margin compression this quarter?” — answered against the exact table.
- Open Comps to see how those ratios stack up against peers, and Estimates for where consensus expects the next few quarters to land.
- Export the Full Model to Excel for your own model, then generate a Report on the company so the write-up is grounded in the same numbers. To extend the read across the whole peer set, run a Grid that asks the same questions of every comparable at once.
