First DCF Calculation - Getting the Figures...

Hi, I'm trying to get a DCF model for GlaxoSmithKline going, but I'm struggling with some of the figures.

For 2018, looking at Shares Magazine it states the net profit for the year is £1,345m (sharesmagazine GSK fundamentals)), however when I look at the actual financial statement for 2018 (GSK financial report 2018) I can see a profit after taxation of £4,406m (pg 140). The only mention of £1,345 is shareholder capital, but I don't know where this figure comes from.

I'm also trying to get deprecation and amortisation, the best figure I've got for that is £1,856m (pg 154 the link above). The next figures I'm after are capex and working capital, but I can't find those figures in the report.

What's the best way to get this data and validating it? I suspect I'm just not interpreting the figures correctly.

Thanks in advance
