Get company financials

Retrieve detailed financial reports including balance sheets (Bilanz) and income statements (Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung) from the Bundesanzeiger. This endpoint provides structured financial data across multiple reporting periods, allowing for trend analysis and financial health assessment. Cost: 10 credits

Financial Data Structure

The response includes complete balance sheet data (assets/Aktiva and liabilities/Passiva) and income statement information when available. Financial reports are structured according to German accounting standards (HGB - Handelsgesetzbuch) and include line items such as current assets, fixed assets, equity, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and net income. Units: every monetary value (report rows, merged values and indicators) is an integer in euro cents. Divide by 100 for euros: a revenue of 1234567890 is €12,345,678.90. Non-monetary values such as employees are plain counts. In addition to the raw financial statements, we provide pre-calculated financial indicators for immediate use. These include key metrics such as balance sheet total, revenue, net income, cash, equity and employees, read from the same statements as the report rows. They are returned at the top level of the response under indicators, one entry per fiscal year-end, sorted by date (latest first). Where a company does not publish revenue, EBITDA or headcount, estimates holds a modelled figure for its latest fiscal year, the same one the company endpoint returns. See estimated financials. Each report additionally exposes its rendered document under sources as a short-lived, presigned html_url (valid for 30 minutes), so you can download or display the full original HTML report. You’ll receive data for all available reporting periods, typically covering multiple years. Each report includes the reporting period and a detailed breakdown of financial positions. Not all companies are required to publish detailed financial statements - data availability depends on company size and legal requirements.
