Can anyone help me with the phrasing of this bit, please? I'm translating "margine operativo lordo" as "gross operating profits" as per the customer's glossary.
"In un contesto caratterizzato dalle persistenti difficoltà del mercato pubblicitario, nel corso del trimestre l’Area dell’Editoria professionale ha conseguito ricavi per euro XXX milioni con un margine operativo lordo sostanzialmente in pareggio"
"In un contesto caratterizzato dalle persistenti difficoltà del mercato pubblicitario, nel corso del trimestre l’Area dell’Editoria professionale ha conseguito ricavi per euro XXX milioni con un margine operativo lordo sostanzialmente in pareggio"

Gross Operating Margin at break-even point
Si tratta del margine (non profitto, altrimenti si deve parlare di "income o profit") prima delle voci di costo/ricavo non operative, tra le quali, oneri finanziari (interessi bancari), proventi non operativi, ecc.

: "margin" and "profit" are often used interchangeably in this context, but since the client's glossary says "profits" there's no reason not to use that. (And technically margin is best used to refer to a percentage.)
