The profit and loss statement

See your revenue against your expenses over a period, with gross profit, EBITDA and EBIT subtotals, an optional year-on-year comparison, and CSV or PDF export.

The profit and loss statement (Erfolgsrechnung) shows what your business earned against what it spent over a chosen period, and whether the result is a profit or a loss.

Open the profit and loss

Go to Finance → Profit & loss. It opens on the current booking year and lists your revenue and expense account groups with their amounts in your default currency. Vinosoft adds the standard subtotals along the way — gross profit, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) — and a final income statement line showing the profit or loss.

Change the period and filters

  • Period — set a date from and date to to run the statement over any range.
  • Account group — narrow the statement to a single account group.
  • Compare with previous year — turn this on to show the same period one year earlier next to the current figures, plus the percentage change.

Only accounts with movement in the period are listed, so the statement stays readable.

Export

  • Export to CSV downloads the statement as a CSV file.
  • Download PDF produces a formatted PDF headed with your company name and address.
