Restated financial statements on B3: 9,467 on record

When a company restates a published statement, the regulator overwrites the old version — the file shows only the new figure, with nothing saying it changed. We have kept both versions since 2010: 9,467 restatements across 407 of the 455 companies we track.

8,756
value revisions — the figure changed size
705
the account appeared or vanished between versions

These add up to 9,467. The remaining 6 are sign flips — a presentation convention, not a revision. We separate them because treating all three alike inflates the headline number.

When they restate, the figure GOES DOWN

One in three fiscal years in the base has some line restated — 1,900 of 5,666. And the change has a direction: revenue shrinks in 73.9% of cases, equity in 67.8%. We can only measure this because we keep both versions; the regulator overwrites the old one.

Clean pairs only: 1,510 rows were excluded because one side is zero or the filing carries a placeholder value — there the account appeared or vanished, it did not change size.

And the honest reading is not window dressing. Two things point to operations leaving the comparative — perimeter, not a revision of results: cost shrinks alongside revenue in similar proportion, and operating cash flow stays nearly symmetric (52.4%), when it would be the first to move if this were an artefact of our method. We describe what the two filings say; we do not assert which one is right.

The largest revisions, in reais

Ranked by ABSOLUTE difference, not percentage, and only on accounts that mean something, with both sides above R$ 100 million. Ranking by percentage crowns accounts that emptied out — true and misleading.

Why this matters

For backtesting: using today's figure for a 2015 fiscal year tests a strategy on information nobody had in 2015. It is the quietest form of look-ahead — you remember to lag the price, not the balance sheet.

For analysis: a company that restates often deserves a more skeptical read. The per-company count above is a signal, not a verdict.

What this is NOT: an accusation. Restating is foreseen and often mandatory — a change in standards, a reclassification, a merger. We record the FACT that it changed, not the intent.

Check it yourself

Download the year's file from dados.cvm.gov.br and compare the ORDEM_EXERC column: ÚLTIMO is the year as first reported, PENÚLTIMO is the same year reported one year later. A gap above 0.5% is what we record.
