Net Profit, also known as Net Income, is a key indicator of operating efficiency and is often referred to as the bottom line. As a rule, the higher the net income, the better the operating efficiency will be. Analysis of the net profit should be closely linked to critical components, such as the value of operating income, R&D expense, the value of other gains and potentially the stage of growth the company is in. To calculate this metric, expenses to be deducted include Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), all operating expenses, taxes, interest costs, and all other non-operating costs.
