Annual Results Report Template

About this template

Open this once the books are closed

Ten slides for wrapping up a fiscal year: cover, agenda, two divider-and-body pairs (Year in review, Revenue results), a prior-year comparison, four KPI cards, a trend slide and a closing page. It fits a 30-minute annual results briefing, and the cover subtitle says as much – a report that sums up the year, built around tables and charts. It assumes final numbers; if you must present pre-close estimates, a monthly or quarterly format serves you better.

Five agenda lines, five slides

The agenda on slide 2 carries five numbered lines – year in review, revenue results, this year vs last, key figures, trend analysis – and they map one-to-one onto slides 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Nothing on the agenda is missing from the deck, so you never need to delete a line; the work runs the other way. To cover more, such as profit structure or results by unit, duplicate a divider (slide 3 or 5) and a body slide (4 or 6) as a pair and add the agenda line. Keep the existing rhythm: only the first two items have dividers, while items 3 to 5 are single slides.

Order for locking the numbers

1. Put the period and accounting basis on the presenter line of the cover, which ships as “2026. presenter name / affiliation”. Example: “Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2026, consolidated” removes half the follow-up questions.
2. Fix the four KPI cards on slide 8 first: 53.6bn KRW annual revenue, 19% growth over last year, 12.8% operating margin, 284 employees. Every other sentence in the deck derives from them.
3. Slide 4, Year in review, has the lead line “reduce twelve months to three facts” and three numbered bullets (01/03 to 03/03). The defaults – revenue of 53.6bn up 19%, operating margin closing at 12.8%, headcount grown to 284 – split into revenue, profitability and people, so keep those roles and change only the values.
4. Slide 6, Revenue results, breaks the top line apart as its lead says: fill in the product mix line, then replace the 41% top-five customer concentration and the 128 new accounts with your own.
5. Slide 7 pairs 2025 (45.0bn revenue, 9.6% operating margin, 96 new accounts) with 2026 (53.6bn, 12.8%, 128). To show plan against actual instead, relabel the left column only and keep the three lines in the same order.
6. Replace the 1Q-4Q labels and the values 112, 128, 141 and 155 on slide 9 with your actual quarters.

Make all four screens point at the same number

The defaults already interlock. The quarters add up to 536 (112+128+141+155), which equals the 53.6bn revenue card on slide 8 and the 2026 revenue line on slide 7. Going from 45.0bn to 53.6bn is 19.1%, matching the 19% growth card, and the margin moves from 9.6% to 12.8%, a 3.2pp gain. The 128 new accounts on slide 7 are the same 128 as the new customers on slide 6. Keep those four places in sync and nobody asks why the totals differ. Growth = (current / prior – 1) x 100; operating margin = operating profit / revenue x 100. State the unit inside each card when you mix currency and percentages.

Slide 9 is a dot matrix, not a bar chart

The trend slide uses the same dot-matrix motif the cover labels. Each quarter is a stack of ten squares, and the number of squares filled in the dark color is the value. By default 1Q has seven filled, 2Q eight, 3Q nine and 4Q all ten, which matches the ratios of 112, 128, 141 and 155. When you change the values, fill round((value / largest) x 10) squares and return the rest to the pale color. The count is always ten, so you never redraw shapes or resize anything – only recolor. There is no axis, so write the unit on the slide yourself, for example “unit: 100m KRW”.

Check these before sending

• Updating the cover year while leaving sample values in place – 536, 19%, 284, 128 and 41% are all placeholders. Walk the four cards and the quarter labels once.
• Changing the numbers but leaving the filled dot count untouched; the picture and the figure disagree, and readers believe the picture.
• Segment figures that do not sum to company revenue once you duplicate a pair for results by unit – disclose intercompany eliminations in a footnote.
• Directional goals such as improving profitability, which cannot be scored when you reopen the file a year later. Attach a number and a date instead.
• A closing slide that is only a two-line thank-you; if there is a Q&A, add a contact or the date of the next report.
