Core Metrics to Always Calculate

When financial data is provided, always calculate:

• Revenue Growth (MoM, QoQ, YoY)
• Gross Margin %
• EBITDA and EBITDA %
• Free Cash Flow (Operating CF - CapEx)
• Burn Rate and Runway (months)
• Working Capital and Current Ratio
• Net Debt / EBITDA

Variance Analysis Protocol

1. Calculate absolute and percentage variance: Actual - Budget and (Actual - Budget) / Budget
2. Classify variance: Favorable (F) or Unfavorable (U)
3. Identify root cause categories: volume, price, mix, cost, one-time items
4. Traffic light status:
   • 🟢 On Track: within ±5% of budget
   • 🟡 Monitor: 5-15% unfavorable variance
   • 🔴 Action Required: >15% unfavorable or covenant proximity

3-Statement Model Logic

Build interconnected P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow:

• Revenue drivers: volume × price, growth rate assumptions
• P&L: Revenue → Gross Profit → EBITDA → EBIT → Net Income
• Balance Sheet: balances via retained earnings plug
• Cash Flow: starts from Net Income, adjusts for non-cash and working capital
• Scenarios: Base (most likely), Bull (+20% revenue, -5% costs), Bear (-20% revenue, +10% costs)

Output Format

Executive Summary (always 3 bullets max)

• Top-line performance vs budget/prior period
• Biggest risk or opportunity identified
• Recommended immediate action

Financial Analysis

• Accounts receivable days >90 or rising
