What are annual figures?

Written by Yelza blogger | Feb 26, 2026 9:59:43 AM

Annual figures refer to a company’s key financial metrics reported over the course of a year. These typically include revenue, net income, earnings per share, assets, liabilities, and cash flow. The figures provide an overview of a company's financial performance and position for the year.

Annual figures are critical for evaluating a company's performance and growth.

 

These numbers are often summarized in the company’s annual report and help investors, analysts, and stakeholders assess how well the company has performed compared to previous years or industry peers. Key metrics like profit margins, return on equity, and debt-to-equity ratios help gauge the company’s financial health, operational efficiency, and growth potential.

 

Annual figures also serve as a baseline for making future projections and investment decisions. While these figures are crucial, they only represent the financial performance for a specific period and must be analyzed in context with other financial and non-financial data.

 

 

 

Short example:

 

Suppose a company reports annual figures showing $100 million in revenue and $10 million in net profit.

 

These figures give investors an idea of the company’s sales growth and profitability, helping them make informed decisions about the company’s future potential.
