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.
DEFINITION of 'Operating Income'. The amount of profit realized from a business's operations after taking out operating expenses-such as cost of goods sold (COGS) or wages-and depreciation. Operating income takes the gross income (revenue minus COGS) and subtracts other operating expenses and then removes depreciation. These operating expenses are costs which are incurred from operating activities and include things such as office supplies and heat and power.
