Hey all - Im working on some of my own models and ran into a quick question. Do you look at the 10k/q and include every line in your model(s) or do you condense lines together to make the forecasting work a little easier?
I've been working with inputting every line into my models, but those models can get quite tedious and nuanced when things arent condensed much

They to condense lines together to make the forecasting work a little easier. Once you can figure it out and everything is formatted right, you can save a lot of time.
Depends if the line is important or not. If you have like 5 things for other LT assets that are not going to change at all and have no real impact on the business, just lump it all together. Honestly there are not a ton of things you can condense outside of a few balance sheet line items maybe.
Thanks. Yeah, I've realized that the balance sheet in particular has a lot of misc items under assets & liabilities, so I'll condense those. When condensing the items though, do I need to adjust the cash flow statement lines to project everything out accurately ?
