How to read your result

  • Operating income = revenue − COGS − operating expenses.
  • It excludes interest and taxes, isolating operations.
  • A rising operating margin signals improving operating leverage.
  • Compare it against peers in your industry, not across sectors.

Frequently asked questions

How is operating margin different from gross margin?

Gross margin only subtracts COGS. Operating margin also subtracts operating expenses like sales, marketing, and R&D, so it's always lower.
