How to read a 10-K annual report

How to read a 10-K? Which information is included in a company’s “annual report on Form 10-K” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission? Find out by walking through an example of the table of contents of a 10-K filing. A big part of the success in analyzing an annual report is knowing where to look! ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ 0:00 Introduction to 10-K document 0:22 10-K annual report example 1:29 Most important sections in a 10-K annual report 4:11 Selected Financial Data in the 10-K 4:44 10-K MD&A 5:26 Financial statements in the 10-K 6:42 Corporate governance, executive compensation and audit fees 7:38 10-K summary For this overview, I have taken as an example the 10-K filing of a well-known company called 3M. Their 2017 10-K document is 176 pages in length (longer than for example Apple and Alphabet, but shorter than GE). A significant part of the volume of a 10-K is made up by exhibits attached at the end of the document, such as the 3M executive life insurance plan, and the company’s long term incentive plan. I personally must admit that I have never spent time reading those sections (I fully trust the company’s compensation committee and audit committee plus the company’s auditors on that!), so the “net workload” of reviewing a 10-K document may be less intimidating than it seems. In compliance with SEC rules, the 10-K document has 4 parts (with Roman numerals), and one level below that items numbered 1 through 16. That doesn’t mean there are only 16 items in a #10-K, as we will soon see. By taking you through an example of an actual 10-K document rather than just a theoretical discussion, I can also show you the volume of pages for each section. For me personally, item 1 business, item 6 selected financial data (a one-page summary for the latest 5 years), and the financial statements in item 8 are the first things to read in a 10-K report, followed by a review of item 7 the MD&A.
