Why does the net income field deviate from a companies bottom-line net income?
Most of the time the net income will reflect the bottom line net income, however, if a company has unusual items that they subtract from their net income they are not accounted for in our net income. The bottom line net income is utilized in the calculation of EPS and EPS diluted though.
Why does the filing date match the date?
The filing date field is populated from the SEC, as a result, international stocks do not pull in data for the filing date and thus are mapped to the date.
Why are fields in the income statement 1,000 or 1,000,000 times larger than reported in their SEC filings?
Firstly, check if the financial statements are denominated in thousands or millions in their SEC statement. If this is not the case it is likely that our pull from the SEC is not denominated properly, which can affect just the shares outstanding (and diluted), or the entire statement. If you run into a rare instance of this please reach out to us here and we can get it fixed for you in a timely manner.
What’s the difference between "acceptedDate" and "filingDate"?
"acceptedDate" – The date the SEC accepted the company’s report. "filingDate" – The date the company submitted the report to the SEC.
Has FMP standardized line item names across financial statements?
Yes, FMP has standardized line item names across companies in our Statements APIs to ensure consistency and make it easier to automate analyses at scale. If you prefer to access the data exactly as reported by each company, we recommend using our As Reported APIs instead.
Why are cash flow and balance sheet fields sometimes missing (null) for Indian companies on BSE and NSE?
For companies listed on India's BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange), the reporting frequency differs from U.S. and European standards: Income statements are reported quarterly. Balance sheets are typically reported semi-annually. Cash flow statements are usually reported annually. Because of these reporting practices, you may see null values for fields like operatingCashFlowPerShare, freeCashFlowPerShare, cashPerShare, and certain balance sheet items when pulling quarterly data. This is not a data error — the companies themselves do not release complete cash flow or balance sheet updates every quarter. We recommend reviewing annual filings if complete financial data is required.
