EBIT Explanation: Standing for "Earnings Before Tax and Interest". As it normally appears towards the end of the balance sheet, it does mean "result" rather than "turnover", in spite of what "earnings" might suggest. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-03-16 16:06:23 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Should read \"earnings before interest and tax\", of course! Oxford Dictionary of Business |

pre-tax profit on ordinary activities Explanation: On a French profit and loss account, the 'resultat courant avant impots', is arrived at by adding the operating profit/loss (resultat d'exploitation) and any profit/loss from investments, currency, etc (resultat financier) but it does not include any extraordinary profit/loss (resultat exceptionnel). My French Glossary of Accountancy and Management Terms gives the translation for resultat courant as 'profit before tax and extraordinary items'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-03-16 16:31:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could also say \'profit on ordinary activities before taxation\'. ...
