Qu'est-ce que le/la Résultat d'exploitation (EBIT) ?

Le résultat d'exploitation est ce que l'entreprise dégage de ses activités courantes après déduction des coûts directs et des charges d'exploitation, avant intérêts et impôts.

Operating profit measures how well management runs the day-to-day business. It strips out financing decisions (interest) and tax regimes, making it comparable across companies and countries.

The operating margin (EBIT ÷ revenue) is the single most quoted profitability ratio for established businesses. Tracking the trend reveals whether the business is gaining or losing operational leverage as it grows.

Formule
Operating Profit = Revenue − COGS − Operating Expenses
Exemple

A consultancy with CHF 2m revenue, CHF 800k of direct project costs and CHF 700k of rent, salaries and software earns CHF 500k operating profit — a 25% operating margin.

How does it differ from EBITDA?+

EBITDA also adds back depreciation and amortisation; operating profit deducts them.

Why exclude interest and tax?+

To compare operational performance independently of capital structure and tax jurisdiction.
