Assets equal liabilities plus equity on the filed figures, so this balance sheet reconciles directly. Every figure above is as filed, taken from the most recent filing that reported it. Nothing is estimated or smoothed, and where the filing and the identity disagree the disagreement is shown rather than closed.
Most of what CL owns is physical — property, equipment and inventory account for 41% of total assets.
It is mostly funded by others: equity is 3% of the balance sheet and liabilities are the remaining 97%.

Does it balance, quarter by quarter
8 of the last 8 tested balance sheets on file reconcile as this site reads them. Each row is judged by the same check as the drawing above, and “latest filing” is the newest filing that carried that period's figures, since later filings repeat earlier periods as comparatives.
