A Profit and Loss (P&L) report, also known as an Income Statement, summarizes a company's revenues, costs, and expenses over a specific period. It starts with total revenue, deducts the cost of goods sold to calculate gross profit, then subtracts operating expenses. Other income and expenses, as well as taxes, are factored in to arrive at the net income or loss. The P&L report helps assess a company's profitability over time.
