4. Understanding the P&L statement

In the previous video, we looked at how to analyze the annual report of a company. The other important statement that companies publish is their Profit and Loss statement (P&L). A P&L statement has the revenues, expenses, taxes, and the profits or losses of a company for a given period. Analyzing a P&L statement will give you a sense of the financial position of the company.
In this video, we look at the components of a P&L statement and how to analyze them.

Hi, i am watching varsity lecture series for quite a few days and it is very informative and knowledgeable. Everything is good but I think there is a problem while looking at key takeaways, as varsity logo is hindering key takeaway note in the middle. Please look into this matter and resolve it, if possible

[@prashantgupta3236]

I was about to point out the same.

[@harshgupta9025]

Same problem

[@anupampatil9371]

It's feature of youtube I guess. You can remove the logo by inspecting the elemet and delete it using ChromeDev tool.

Hey Ashish, noted. We'll try toning it down.

Topline revenue - expenses = operating profit
operating profit - tax = proft after tax(bottom line)
