Definition: Operating profit is the profitability of the business, before taking into account interest and taxes. To determine operating profit, operating expenses are subtracted from gross profit. Operating profit is a key number for managers to watch as it reflects the revenue and expenses that they can control. Operating profit and EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) are the same thing.
Several methods can be used to determine a company's operating profit. One is to analyze profit margins. Another is to examine profit trends over several quarters or from year to year. Operating profit and earnings before interest and tax, more typically referred to as EBIT, are one and the same. EBIT and operating profit are used interchangeably as terms that describe the same financial indicator: a company's operating income.
