Income Statement
An income statement, also called the profit and loss statement, reports the revenue earned and expenses incurred over a period — a month, quarter or year — and the profit or loss left at the bottom. Unlike the balance sheet's single-point snapshot, it covers a span of time and shows how the business actually performed. It forms part of a complete set of financial statements, and its figures feed measures such as gross margin and EBITDA.
