19. Financial Analysis - Income Statement
Purpose
19
The Income Statement,
also called Profit & Loss
(P&L), is a financial
statement that
summarizes the
revenue and costs
incurred during a
specific period of time
(usually a fiscal quarter
or year)
This financial statement
provides information
that shows the ability of
a company to generate
profit by increasing
revenue and reducing
costs
20. Financial Analysis - Income Statement
Description
20
The Income Statement has three primary components:
Revenue
The money earned by the company
which includes:
• The sale of goods and services
• The interest earned
• Some investment activities
Expenses
The Money spent to generate revenue
which includes:
• Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): The direct
costs attributable to the production of the
goods sold by a company
• Selling Expenses: Cash payments (or
equivalent) for marketing services
• Administrative Expenses: Costs to the
firm to cover items such as salaries
• Interest Expenses: Payments made to
cover costs of financing
• Tax Expense: Payments made to the
government to cover income taxes
• Depreciation Expense: Amount of asset
usage that is applied to this year
Net Income
Net Income is referred to as “Profit” or
“Earnings,” when not negative and
“Loss” when negative.
It is the company revenues minus its
expenses

The question
Description Example from a Fortune 100 company
You need to provide a neutral description with
facts that you know your audience will agree
on.
Our company has been selling its products in
the US for the past 10 years, with an annual
profit growth above 10%.
The complication is a desired change of the
current situation.
With a market share already above 40%, profit
growth will be limited in the US.
The question that implicitly results from the
complication.
Should we enter the European market?

problem
