Distinguish "Income from Continuing operations" from "Operating Income".

I completely agree with the answers to colleagues

Income from continued operations:

The components of  income from continuing operations are: revenues, expenses (including income taxes),gain and losses,excluding those related to discounted operations and extra ordinary items.

Operating Income = Gross Income - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization

Operating Income = Gross Income - Operating Expenses - Depreciation & Amortization

Operating income would not include items such as investments in other firms, taxes or interest expenses. In addition, nonrecurring items such as cash paid for a lawsuit settlement are often not included.

Operating income is required to calculate operating margin, which describes a company's operating efficiency

Income from continuing operations comprise of:

i) After-tax net income before discontinued operations

ii) extraordinary items, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle
