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.
This profit equals revenue minus expenses, excluding interest and income taxes. Assume you have $500,000 in revenue and $350,000 in expenses excluding interest and taxes. Your operating profit is $150,000. Your return-on-sales ratio is 30 percent, or $150,000 divided by $500,000, times 100.
