Step 1. Identify the issuer
What trades is a security; what publishes accounts is a legal entity. A group may have several, and the holding company's report is not the same as the operating subsidiary's.
Step 2. Decide which standard you need
For multiples and business valuation — consolidated IFRS. For checking the base for a dividend — the parent's Russian accounts.
Step 3. Find the document
Official disclosure is required by law: the primary source with its publication date lives there. The issuer's website is more convenient but sometimes lags. The TradeAlmanac statements section holds already parsed and standardised figures — with the source of every line stated.
| Показатель | MGNT |
|---|---|
| Выручка | 103 000 000 |
| Чистая прибыль | 691 000 000 |
| Активы | 642 300 000 000 |
Step 4. Check the period
An annual report, a half-year report and an interim quarterly one are different documents. A quarterly figure cannot be compared with an annual one: the difference will look like a collapse of the business.
