# Taiwan Financials

> Quarterly income statements and balance sheets for TWSE and TPEx-listed companies, with both the cumulative filed figure and the single-quarter figure.

Taiwan Financials provides quarterly financial statements for Taiwan-listed companies on TWSE and TPEx. Each observation is one statement for one fiscal season, in TWD thousands, as filed with the Taiwan exchanges. Coverage starts at 2024 Q1.

## What You Can Use Taiwan Financials For

Build a quarterly revenue and margin history for a Taiwan-listed company. Compare a quarter against the same quarter a year earlier. Pair the quarterly statements with [Taiwan Monthly Revenue](/international/taiwan-monthly-revenue), which reports far sooner.

## Taiwan Income Statements Are Filed Cumulatively

<Warning>
  Read this before using any income figure. TWSE files income-statement values **cumulative from the start of the fiscal year**. Season 2 is the first half and season 4 is the full year.

  Reading a cumulative value as a quarter overstates Q4 by roughly the whole year.
</Warning>

Because of that, every income line comes back **twice**.

The `_ytd` fields — `revenue_ytd` and its siblings — are the figure **as filed**, cumulative.

The `_q` fields — `revenue_q` and its siblings — are the **single quarter**.

## How to Read quarter\_basis

`quarter_basis` says how the `_q` value was arrived at.

`as_reported` means season 1, where the cumulative figure is already the quarter and no arithmetic was applied.

`derived_from_ytd` means this season's cumulative figure minus the previous season's.

`null` means the previous season is missing, in which case the `_q` fields are null. **Those nulls must not be treated as zero.**

## Income Rows and Balance Rows Are Different Shapes

`statement` is `income` or `balance`. There is **no cash-flow statement** in this dataset.

Balance-sheet rows are point-in-time: never cumulative and never derived. Their income columns are null, and income rows have null balance columns.

## Taiwan Financials Date Convention

`year` is the fiscal year and `season` is the TWSE season, 1 to 4. A season is a fiscal quarter, but because income is filed cumulatively, the season number describes the **end** of the cumulative window on the `_ytd` fields and the quarter itself on the `_q` fields.

## Taiwan Financials Units

Amounts are **TWD thousands**. The response states `currency` and `unit` explicitly — read them rather than assuming a scale.

## Taiwan Financials Sources

Statements are filed by the companies with the Taiwan exchanges. The `_ytd` values are as filed. The `_q` values are computed by FocusAlpha except in season 1, and `quarter_basis` says which case each row is.

## Query Taiwan Financials

Use the Taiwan financials endpoint. It accepts a Taiwan security code such as `2330`, a suffixed ticker such as `2330.TW`, an ISIN or a `company_id` directly — there is no need to resolve the identifier first.

<ParamField path="company_id" type="string" required>
  A Taiwan security code, a suffixed ticker, an ISIN or a `company_id`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="statement" type="string">
  `income` or `balance`. Both by default.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="year" type="integer">
  Fiscal year.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="season" type="integer">
  TWSE season, 1 to 4.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="limit" type="integer" default="40">
  Rows per page, between 1 and 1000. Page through with `cursor`.
</ParamField>
