Question: Use the data provided in the attached Excel spreadsheet to conduct a thorough financial analysis. You must use common-sized statements and ratios and your analysis must be both longitudinal and cross-sectional. Additionally, you should give compound annual growth rates for key categories (such as revenue, but you must decide which others will contribute to your understanding of the company). Use tables to display your results, but include a narrative to explain what your tables reveal.
