Reading a business through its numbers: the three statements, cash and value

Pulling the five numbers that matter

Prints the prompt and every part you have revealed so far.

The prompt

Using the Inditex table above, pull the five numbers that matter for FY2025 and say in three sentences how the year went. The release also states that sales grew 7.0 percent in constant currency, that changes in working capital used EUR 803 million of cash (against 198 million the year before), and that net cash is cash of 5,276 plus current financial investments of 5,684 minus financial debt of 2.

Practice with a partner

1. Send the interviewer link to a friend. They read the case aloud and hold the answers.

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.

3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.
