Retained earnings, at a high level, represent a component of equity.
Some companies keep separate retained earnings balances (e.g., by year), so the beginning balance in any given fiscal year is $0.
Many companies; however, use a single balance for retained earnings and add (subtract) recent year earnings (losses) to prior year earnings (losses) to create the next year's beginning balance.
