Operating profit
The result of the trading itself, before financial income and costs.
Operating profit is operating income less operating costs — the result of what the company actually does, before interest, exchange differences and tax.
That often makes it more informative than net profit: it shows whether the core business earns. A company with a healthy operating result and a poor net result usually has a debt problem rather than a trading one.
APR's open data does not carry this line separately; it appears in the full income statement.
