Calculation

Calculated automatically from your NetSuite data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

Worked example

A US-headquartered industrial fastener distributor on NetSuite OneWorld, 5 subsidiaries. 12-month trailing view as of 30 Apr 26. Consolidated revenue by quarter:
QuarterUS IncUK LtdAU PtyEU BVCA LtdTotal
Q2 25$20.1m$5.8m$3.6m$2.4m$1.9m$33.8m
Q3 25$21.4m$6.2m$3.9m$2.7m$1.8m$36.0m
Q4 25$22.8m$6.8m$4.2m$3.1m$1.7m$38.6m
Q1 26$23.2m$6.4m$4.4m$3.4m$1.5m$38.9m
What the CFO reads:
  1. Total trend: +15.1% YoY (Q1 25 to Q1 26). Healthy growth. The trailing 12-month CAGR is 14.5%.
  2. US Inc grew +15.4%. In line with portfolio average. The home market is healthy and proportionate.
  3. UK Ltd grew +10.3%. Slower than portfolio. Investigation: UK’s largest retailer-customer rebid their supply contract at lower margins; revenue is being protected but at lower margin (cross-reference Subsidiaries List margin column).
  4. AU Pty grew +22.2%. Fastest-growing subsidiary. The new local-warehouse strategy is paying off (cross-reference Inventory Turnover AU column at 9.2x).
  5. EU BV grew +41.7%. Triple-digit growth from a small base; the EU subsidiary is in scale-up mode.
  6. CA Ltd declined -21.1%. The portfolio’s only declining subsidiary. Cross-reference Top Findings Across Subsidiaries for CA Ltd: 8 open alerts including dead-stock, margin compression, sales-rep transitions. The subsidiary needs structural intervention.
  7. Action: at the next board meeting, present (a) consolidated growth +15% (positive top line), (b) AU + EU as growth engines (invest more), (c) CA as turnaround focus (decision: invest in turnaround team or wind down).

Reconciling against the vendor’s own dashboard

Where to look in NetSuite’s own dashboard:
Reports > Financial > Income Statement (Consolidated) with the period set and subsidiary filter “All”. The Revenue line, broken out by subsidiary class, is directly comparable. Reports > Banking/Budgeting > Consolidated Reports > Multi-Subsidiary Revenue Trend (where available; depends on tenant configuration).
Why our number may legitimately differ:

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Single-subsidiary tenant: do I see this card? No. Use Revenue Trend for single-subsidiary view. Why is my consolidated total less than the sum of subsidiary native revenues? Intercompany eliminations. Sales between subsidiaries net out at consolidation; only external sales count. Can I see this in a different reporting currency? Yes. Toggle the consolidation currency. Some merchants prefer USD; some EUR or GBP depending on parent location. Why does the trend look different from my finance team’s reported figures? Two common causes: (1) FX rate selection (period-average vs period-end); (2) intercompany elimination cadence. Reconcile by aligning both at month-end with the official close. My CA Ltd is declining; should I close it? Out of scope of this card; it surfaces the trend, not the strategic recommendation. The decision to close vs invest is informed by margin analysis, market position, and strategic context. Vortex IQ surfaces the data; the human team makes the call. Can I overlay budget / forecast? Yes via Ask Viq if budget data is loaded into NS. Vortex IQ pulls from the NS Budget records and overlays. My EU subsidiary’s revenue jumped; is it a real growth or an FX effect? Cross-reference FX Currency Exposure. If EUR strengthened against the consolidation currency in the period, some apparent growth is FX gain rather than true volume growth. Vortex IQ exposes a “constant-currency” view to strip FX out. Can I see this monthly instead of quarterly? Yes. Toggle the granularity (monthly / quarterly / yearly).
