Income: Income is the money that we make on selling services or goods to a customer. We also have to subtract the cost from this. 

Gross Profit: For a company, the gross profit is the amount that we get after subtracting the costs we incurred following the manufacturing and selling of the product or the cost incurred on providing service from the revenue.

Operating Income: Operating income means the amount of profit that we have gained from a business operation. This is calculated by deducting the operating expense. Operating expense is the wage or depreciation.

Cost of Operation: Cost of Revenue can be defined as the total of different costs that we have incurred following the production, marketing, and distribution of products or services to the end-users.

Then we have another segment named Expenses.

Expenses: IT is the amount we spent as labor charge, material cost, or other charges for making a product or offering a service.

Depreciation: We can term depreciation as the method of calculating the cost of an asset based on its life expectancy.

We can find Expenses and Depreciation etc.

At the bottom of the page, we can also find Net Profit. The net profit is calculated based on the income and the expense.
