Income Statement

The income statement, or 'profit-and-loss' (P&L) financial statement, is a report that shows how a construction company's total revenue and expenses add up to either a profit or loss for a given time period. A series of P&L statements can indicate which direction a contractor is trending in and how fast they're getting there. The formula for the P&L is "income minus expenses equals profit (or loss)."
