ACME’s bottom line for 2016 reflected the high cost of its restructuring, but the management hopes it will lead to improved results in the following years.
The term comes from the position of the net result at the bottom of the income statement. When social and environmental impacts are added to the financial, moreover, then this is termed the triple bottom line or integrated bottom line. Figuratively, “bottom line” may also refer to the main conclusion of any statement or situation.
Výsledovka společnosti je její zisk nebo ztráta za účetní období.
Výsledovka společnosti ACME za rok 2016 odrážela vysoké náklady na restrukturalizaci, ale management doufá, že povede k lepším výsledkům v následujících letech.
Anglický termín pochází z pozice čistého výsledku na konci výkazu zisku nebo ztráty. Když jsou k finančním výsledkům přidány navíc i společenské a environmentální dopady, pak se to nazývá trojitá výsledovka nebo integrovaná výsledovka. V přeneseném významu může výraz „bottom line“ také označovat hlavní závěr nějakého tvrzení nebo situace.
