Overview

Earnings calls go wrong when the remarks and the numbers drift apart, or when a tough question has no prepared answer. This script keeps the opening, CEO remarks, CFO remarks, a glossary of numbers to quote and the likely analyst questions in one document, in the order of the call.

The sample follows Inkberry Group's third quarter: revenue of $142.0M, up 9%, gross margin of 41.2%, adjusted EBITDA of $22.4M reconciled to operating profit of $17.1M and full-year guidance of $575M to $590M. Replace the quarter, figures, segments, guidance assumptions and questions with your own.

Useful for

  • A CFO preparing remarks and a reconciliation to read from on the quarterly results call
  • An investor relations lead rehearsing likely analyst questions with the executive team
  • A finance team keeping one source for every figure quoted on the call and in the release

What's included

  • An opening page with call details, four headline figures and the three messages to land
  • CEO remarks structured as an opening statement, key terms, segment highlights and priorities
  • CFO remarks with the reconciliation, margin bridge, cash flow, dividend and guidance
  • A glossary of thirteen terms and numbers to quote when an analyst asks
  • Likely analyst questions on margin, leverage and contract wins, with short answers
  • A guide page for replacing the sample details

Does it include a forward-looking statement?

The opening page carries a short cautionary statement near the start of the call. Replace it with the wording your legal team has approved.
