Operating profit is a financial metric that measures the profit a company generates from its primary business activities before deducting interest and taxes. It is an important metric for evaluating a company's financial performance and is typically used to assess how efficiently a company is utilising its resources to generate revenue.


To calculate operating profit, a company's operating expenses are subtracted from its revenue. Operating expenses include costs such as salaries, rent, utilities, and depreciation. Revenue includes income generated from the sale of goods and services.


It is important to note that operating profit does not include income from investments or one-time gains or losses. This means that operating profit only reflects the performance of a company's core business operations and not any other factors.


Operating profit is a key metric for evaluating a company's financial health and operational efficiency. A high operating profit margin indicates that a company is generating significant profits from its core business activities, while a low operating profit margin may indicate inefficiencies in the company's operations. As such, operating profit is often used by investors and analysts to evaluate a company's financial performance and to compare it to other companies within the same industry.
