Alphabet (Google) Financial Report Sources
“Alphabet Inc. (Google) 2021 Financial Statements and Financial Ratios: Defined, Discussed, and Analyzed for 5 Years” was written by Paul Borosky, MBA., and owner of Quality Business Plan. In this report, the author selected Alphabet’s 2019 10k, Alphabet’s 2017 10k annual report, Alphabet’s 2016 10k annual report, Alphabet’s 2015 10k annual report, and Alphabet’s 2014 10k annual report as the basis for information gathering. Once all of Alphabet’s 10k annual statements were collected, the author then inserted Alphabet’s income statement information and Alphabet’s balance sheet information into a customized financial template.
Section 1: Alphabet Inc. Income Statement Analyzed
In this section, I walk through a broad definition of what an income statement is and why it is crucial. I discuss each of Alphabet’s essential income statement line items, such as revenues, gross profits, etc., in detail. After each line item is defined and discussed, I must analyze Alphabet’s income statement line items.
Revenue Growth:
Alphabet’s revenues were $110.8 billion in 2017. In the next four years, Alphabet’s revenues would climb to $257.6 billion in 2021. On average, this is an annual growth rate of approximately 23.9%. For multinational organizations such as this, this is extraordinarily impressive.

Section 2: Alphabet Inc. Balance Sheet Analyzed
For Alphabet Inc.’s balance sheet, I again go through each vital line item from the balance sheet. In reviewing each line item, I will define Alphabet’s balance sheet line items, such as cash, property, plant and equipment, and liabilities. Next, I offer an analysis of Alphabet’s balance sheet line item.
Cash:
Alphabet’s cash position was $10.7 billion in 2017. As compared to sales, this would be 9.7%. In the next four years, Alphabet’s cash increased to $20.9 billion in 2021. As compared to sales, this would be 8.1%. This trend indicates that the organization is increasing its cash position. However, they are not increasing it as fast as sales are growing. This shows that the company can meet its short-term liabilities by utilizing less cash as a percentage of sales—an excellent strategy and structure.

Section 3: Alphabet Inc. Financial Ratios Analyzed
For this section, I have chosen about 16 different financial ratios to review for Alphabet. In reviewing each of Alphabet’s financial ratios, I first define the financial ratio. Next, I supply the financial formula for calculating the specific ratio. Finally, I offer a brief analysis of Alphabet’s Financial ratio. Ratios calculated for the last five years include:
Alphabet (Google) Current Ratio
Alphabet’s current ratio was 5.14 in 2017. In the next several years, the company took steps to reduce its current ratio, ending in 2021 at 2.9. Since the current ratio's gold standard is 1.0, Alphabet seems to be mismanaging its current assets. A better strategy would be for the organization to divest significant portions of its cash into operations, expansion, and or dividend payouts. From an investor’s perspective, this is a poor trend.
Analyst Grade: C
Alphabet (Google) Return on Assets (ROA)
Alphabet’s return on assets (ROA) was 6.4% in 2017. In the next three years, ending 2020, the company would almost double its return on assets, ending the year at 12.6%. Further, in 2021, the company’s return on assets would jump significantly, ending at 21.1%. This trend shows that the company is continually generating additional revenues using the assets of its management.
