Profit and loss statement

Picture

Sales margin
Sales margin shows the profitability of the sales. The financial expenses are neglected in the sales margin to understand the profitability of the products/services sold. 

Sales margin = EBIT / Sales


Depreciation and Amortization
Is the real cost for an asset that is periodically distributed over the estimated lifetime of that asset. Amortization is similar to depreciation but it refers to intangible assets.


Interest cover
The measurement shows a companies ability to serve their borrowers.

Interest cover = EBIT / Interest


Relationship between the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement:
     Profit and loss                         Balance sheet
      * EBIT                                       * TA                   Results in Return on total assets (ROTA)
      * EBT                                        * CE
      * EAT                                        * NW                  Results in Return on Equity (ROE)
