Typically, a company's
financial statements are the reports that show the
financial position of the company. There are three main documents that fall into the category of financial statements. These documents include Taiwan Semiconductor income statement, its balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. Potential Taiwan Semiconductor investors and stakeholders use financial statements to determine how well the company is positioned to perform in the future. Although Taiwan Semiconductor investors may use each financial statement separately, they are all related. The changes in Taiwan Semiconductor's assets and liabilities, for example, are also reflected in the revenues and expenses that we see on Taiwan Semiconductor's income statement, which results in the company's gains or losses. Cash flows can provide more information regarding cash listed on a balance sheet, but not equivalent to net income shown on the income statement. Please read more on our
technical analysis and
fundamental analysis pages.

How important is Taiwan Semiconductor's Liquidity
Taiwan Semiconductor
financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Taiwan Semiconductor financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Taiwan Semiconductor's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Taiwan Semiconductor's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).

breakdown between Taiwan Semiconductor's total debt and its cash.
