WPP plc Operating Income 2011-2025 | WPP

Operating profit (also called operating income or profit from core activities) is a financial metric that reflects a company's profit from its main operational activities before interest expenses and taxes are taken into account.

Formula

Operating profit = Revenue – Operating expenses

Features of the metric

Evaluates business efficiency
Shows how well the company controls its production and administrative costs.
Independent of financial structure
Excludes the impact of debt burden (interest) and taxes, allowing objective comparison of companies.
Main source for growth
High operating profit provides resources for investments, business expansion, and increased competitiveness.

If a company shows strong operating profit, it signals to investors that the core business is operating efficiently, even if net profit is temporarily reduced due to debt or tax burden.
