The best piece of advice I heard for reading financial reports: start at the bottom, read your way up. All the juicy stuff is hidden in the bottom (like losses), while the pretty, extrapolated ARR graphs are up at the top.

Not bad, although I assume you’d want to grab the standard financial statements on your way to the last page for some context. The important thing is to actually read the report, and bring a lot of context to the read from your other studies so you can make a better decision (or improve your contextual knowledge for the next report.)
