Unilever PLC balance sheet and cash flow
Balance-sheet figures are as of each fiscal year end; cash-flow figures cover the fiscal year. Taken from the company's annual report on Form 20-F, linked on each row. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow less capital expenditures, calculated by CorpDigest. In some years total assets exceed liabilities plus shareholders' equity because the company reported redeemable preferred stock or non-controlling interests outside both.
