liikevaihdostaan

Liikevaihdostaan is a Finnish term that translates to "from its turnover" or "of its turnover." It refers to the revenue generated by a business from its primary operating activities over a specific period, typically a financial year. This figure represents the total amount of money a company has earned from selling its goods or services before deducting any expenses.

Understanding liikevaihdostaan is crucial for assessing a company's sales performance and its overall scale of operations. It is a key performance indicator that is often compared to previous periods to identify growth trends or declines. Analysts and investors use liikevaihdostaan as a starting point for further financial analysis, as it forms the basis for calculating profitability and other important financial ratios.

While liikevaihdostaan indicates the top-line revenue, it does not reflect the company's profitability. Expenses such as the cost of goods sold, operating expenses, interest, and taxes are deducted from the turnover to arrive at the net profit or loss. Therefore, a high liikevaihdostaan does not automatically guarantee a profitable business. It is simply a measure of the volume of business conducted.
