For banks, I use Fair value, investment securities, credit quality and allowance the most consistently.

Things that go directly to equity, bypassing the income statement. So foreign exchange, gains on available-for-sale securities, etc. For a company like Berkshire or Markel, these help get a better picture of “income”.

Also, details of derivatives if they are significant.
