Your operating profit percentage tells you the percentage
of your sales that turn into profit. Because the figure
excludes miscellaneous income and tax expenses, the operating
profit percentage produces an accurate picture of the
profitability of your primary business. Reductions in
this figure over time might indicate a need to re-evaluate
your pricing or your suppliers, or look for ways to cut
down on your operating expenses.
