Westlake Chemical Corporation Gross Profit 2011-2026 | WLK
Gross profit is a key indicator of how efficiently a company produces or sells its products. This metric helps assess a business’s ability to generate revenue at the initial stage, before accounting for all other expenses. Regular analysis of gross profit allows companies to respond in a timely manner to changes in cost of goods, pricing strategy, and market conditions.
Calculation formula:Importance for business:
Gross Profit = Revenue – Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Revenue — all cash inflows from the sale of goods or services.
Cost of Goods Sold — direct costs related to the production or acquisition of goods:
- Raw materials and supplies
- Wages of production personnel
- Depreciation of equipment
- Transportation and warehousing costs (if directly related to production)
- Assessing core business profitability
If gross profit is declining, it may indicate rising production costs or falling sales. - Financial planning
Gross profit is the basis for calculating other key metrics, such as operating and net profit. - Benchmarking against competitors
Gross profit analysis helps compare the efficiency of different companies within the same industry. - Insights into pricing effectiveness
If gross profit is low, the company may be pricing too low or failing to control costs effectively.
- Increase in raw material and supply costs
- Rising production expenses
- Price reductions due to competition
- Decrease in sales volume
- Currency exchange rate fluctuations (for imports/exports)
Gross profit is an important metric, but it does not provide a complete picture of a company’s financial health, as it does not account for administrative and selling expenses, taxes, debt burden, or depreciation.
