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.
Sales â Cost of Sales = Gross Profit â Operating Expenses = Operating Income. Using the operating income margin as an indicator--computed by simply dividing operating income by total sales--will allow you to measure managementâs efficiency in running the business. The higher the margin, the more efficient--this means that operating expenses are consciously guarded as sales grow.
