Frequently asked questions
What does operating margin measure?
It is operating profit as a share of revenue, after the costs of goods and running the business but before interest and tax. It reflects core operating efficiency.
How does it differ from gross margin?
Gross margin subtracts only the cost of goods. Operating margin also subtracts operating expenses such as wages, rent and marketing, so it is usually lower.
