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.
Similar to gross margin, operating margin also shows how efficiently your business converts revenue into operating profit. With $100,000 in operating income on $420,000 in revenue, your operating margin is roughly 23.8 percent. Again, you would compare this to industry norms and previous periods.
