Standardized
Different industries report different financial items in different ways. SNL recognizes these differences and standardizes financial data using each industries’ own financial fields and language. Company profiles highlight sector-specific performance metrics while standardized financial statements make comparisons across multiple companies easy. SNL even recalculates every ratio from the balance sheet and income statement line items using standard, industry-accepted formulas.
As-Reported
In addition to standardized data, SNL allows you to view and export financial numbers as reported by each company. These as-reported financial statements are aligned over time for seamless comparison across periods, and with one-click, each value can be traced back to its source document for easy auditing. Just as SNL’s standardized data has made comparisons across companies easier and more accurate, SNL’s as-reported data makes in-depth, precise analysis of individual companies more straightforward than ever before.
