Income statement

German: Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung

A statement showing how a period’s revenue turns into profit after all costs, interest and taxes.

The income statement runs from revenue to gross profit, EBITDA, operating income (EBIT) and net income. It yields margins and earnings per share. Because it contains accounting estimates, it should always be read together with the cash flow statement.
