Multistep Income Statement | Example

This video presents an actual example of a multi-step income statement by showing the income statement for the company Newell Brands.

While a single-step income statement simply subtracts a company's total expenses from its total revenues to obtain net income, a multi-step income statement distinguishes between operating and nonoperating items and shows several profit subtotals before arriving at net income. These subtotals include:
(a) gross profit
(b) operating income
(c) earnings before taxes
(d) income from continuing operations (this appears before discontinued operations when the company disposed of a product line or business segment during the period)

A multi-step income statement is thus more helpful than a single-step income statement in evaluating a company's performance and its ability to manage the various types of expenses.

I like it even more when businesses record their revenues by operating segment. The more detail the better.

Hello, do you have any videos where you are analyzing or reviewing financial statements or 10Ks of publicly listed companies?

Thank you in advance.
