If you are good at ER or have modeling expertise-please help me with this:
I'm an undergrad and I'm currently building a model, in which I am breaking revenues, operating profits, and ebitda down by segment. There are 4 main segments to the company. i've grabbed the data from bloomberg. when i look at operating profit as a whole for the company-I see a number MUCH less than the operating profits of each individual 4 segments added together.
Same goes for EBITDA. I have checked everywhere online, and the operating income and EBITDA figures reported online are much less than the that are the sum of the 4 segments (I grabbed the data for each segment from a Bloomberg Terminal at my school)
Am I getting wrong data from bloomberg on the individual segments? and if so, what do I do about this? Please PM me if you have a bit of free time to help.
Read through the 10-K. Do not rely on Bloomberg. Without digging in, my guess would be that there is Corporate level SG&A which supports the four segments and thereby lowers Operating Income/EBITDA.
can i please pm you? You may be a genius and I want to confirm something
This bush-league bullshit is depressing. You shouldn't be using bloomberg, factset, or capital IQ for any model source data on the sell-side ER. FILINGS ONLY (company provided documents in general). Are you seriously too lazy to go to their IR page? MS away fellas (and ladies).
