What it owns and what it owes

Both on one scale, because both are money — the bar that is taller is the one that matters.

Cash and debt

Cash & InvestmentsTotal Debt

Cash counts short-term investments, not just the bank balance — technology companies park most of it in marketable securities, and leaving those out understates it several times over. Debt includes lease obligations.

Where the money goes

Cost of RevenueR&D ExpenseSG&A Expense

Only the three costs filers report consistently. Anything a company does not break out sits outside these bands, so the stack is not the whole cost base.

The rest of the series

Not on the overview because five charts is as much as one decision needs — but here in full, on one period switch. Each bar sums the four quarters ending there — a full year, brought up to today.

About this data

Everything above comes from Greif, Inc.’s own filings with the SEC, as reported. No estimates, no analyst figures, nothing adjusted.

Not reported by this filer: R&D Expense, Total Operating Expenses, Profit per share, Shares outstanding, Interest Income, Net Interest Income, Non-interest Income, Non-interest Expense, Provision for Credit Losses, Deposits, Loans, Total Liabilities, Short-term Investments, and Borrowings (total). Companies choose which XBRL tags to use, and anything untagged cannot be recovered — so these are blank rather than guessed.
