Where and how is financial data sourced, processed, and aggregated during quarterly collection?
Portfolio Insights is primarily a data collection, normalization, and transposition service. Certain industry-accepted calculations are performed, and assumptions regarding financial statements are made to provide a high-level and consistent view of financial statements for Portfolio Insight’s Clients.
The high-level figures that we capture to provide such a consistent view of our client’s portfolio companies include (when these figures are available):
INCOME STATEMENT | BALANCE SHEET | CASH FLOW STATEMENT | KPIs |
Revenue Cost of Sales Gross Profit Operating Expenses Operating Income EBITDA Net Income | Cash Inventory Other Current Assets Fixed Assets Other Long Term Assets Loans Payable, Current Other Current Liabilities Loans Payable, Less Current Other Non-Current Liabilities Total Equity | Cash flow from Operations Cash flow from Investing (if available) Cash flow from Investing (if available) Changes in (if available) Ending cash balance (if available) | As requested by Firm, on a company-by-company basis (limited to 7 data points) |
Certain assumptions are made and standard industry-accepted calculations are performed to provide Portfolio Insight’s Clients the high-level visibility that they seek to get out of the platform.
Financials are recorded as reported.
The most recently reported financial statements take priority over prior financial statements.
Prior 4 (four) Quarter historicals and upcoming 4 (four) Quarters forecast is updated as a part of every collection if provided.
Annual forecasts are not broken down into Quarters unless previously agreed upon with the firm.
Given the early-stage, unaudited nature of the financial statements for many private companies, the financial statements are not expected to balance.
