P&L (Profit and Loss Statement)
A financial statement summarising revenues, costs and profit over a period.
The P&L (income statement) shows whether a business is profitable by listing revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating expenses and net profit/loss. It is a core document investors review to understand financial performance and trajectory.
Examples
A startup’s P&L shows £200k revenue and a £150k loss as it invests in growth. — Founders review the monthly P&L to manage costs.
