The Directions to the assignment are written below. The 4 slides should be added to the end of the powerpoint that I just added, please try and keep formatting the same. The company is Lyft, and the data can be found on the Lyft website for 10-Q
"The assignment is to present P&L data for three years for your company. The data you present must include at least one ‘actual’ year results and one ‘future year’ (projected) results. You have flexibility within those parameters. You may do two actual and one projected or one actual and two projected. If you have very limited actual data (say one quarter) you may annualize that data however you think most appropriate and call it an actual year. For example, you may take a quarterly result and multiply by four, or you could ‘build’ a projection for three quarters and add those to the one quarter you have and call that a full actual year. Be explicit about what your audience is looking at.
Your deck should tell the story of the most important things that are going to happen in your company in the coming year(s). You must have two slides that contain nothing but P&L information and two slides that contain commentary on that information. You may have up to one more slide of each type if you wish. A min of four slides, max of six. Your goal is to make your points as clearly as possible and not leave obvious questions unanswered. You should have rationales / support / logic of some kind for your projected year(s). For example, if I see your depreciation expense decreasing, you should expect I (or anyone) would note that and ask you why. If you have a reason, fine, if not, that’s a problem. Use whatever analytic techniques work well. Use whatever presentation devices work best to tell your story.
You should take care to respect the conventions of P&L’s, however, you need not show any information beyond pre-tax income. That is, you may omit taxes and net income. You may aggregate non-material accounts just as you have done with the BS. Your P&L should "add," however."
