voittomarginaalin

Voittomarginaali, in Finnish, translates to "profit margin" in English. It is a key financial metric used to assess a company's profitability. Specifically, it indicates how much profit a company makes for every dollar of revenue it generates. There are several types of profit margins, with the most common being gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin.

The gross profit margin is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from revenue and then dividing the result by revenue. This margin reflects the profitability of a company's core products or services before accounting for operating expenses, interest, and taxes. A higher gross profit margin suggests that a company is efficient in managing its production costs.

The operating profit margin, also known as the profit margin before interest and taxes (EBIT margin), is calculated by dividing operating income by revenue. Operating income includes gross profit minus all operating expenses, such as salaries, rent, and marketing. This metric provides insight into a company's profitability from its primary business operations.

The net profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by revenue. Net income represents the company's total profit after all expenses, including interest and taxes, have been deducted. This is often considered the "bottom line" and indicates the percentage of revenue that ultimately translates into profit for shareholders. Analyzing these different voittomarginaalit helps investors and management understand a company's financial health and performance over time.
