English term or phrase: expense obligations
Sind die "expense obligations" das gleiche wie "payment obligations"?

"A decline in gross margin may signal that a company won't be able to meet its *expense obligations*."

Zahlungsverpflichtungen
Explanation:
Auslagen (wie von Ingeborg definiert) wohl nicht, denn die kommen zB beim Umsatzkostenverfahren ja erst nach der Bruttomarge.
Tatsache ist, dass mit einer geringen Bruttospanne das Unternehmen auf Dauer keine Zahlungen mehr leisten kann (denn aus der Bruttomarge müssen ja alle S, G & A bezahlt werden, von den Finankosten ganz zu schweigen). Daher auch bei steigendem Umsatz tödlich

Explanation:
As far as I understand this it is not the same as payment obligations. I think expenses here means the money that has to be spent in order to say advertise or travel expenses etc.
I hope this helps a bit.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Life could be so easy. - Du hast wahrscheinlich. wie meistens, recht. Bleibt eben nur die Frage, warum die denn nicht "payment obligations" schreiben.
