net losses
Expenses exceeding revenue
Net losses is the plural of net loss, which refers to the amount by which expenses and deductions exceed income or revenue over a given period.
When a business reports net losses, it has spent more than it earned—the opposite of net profit.
The term appears frequently in financial statements, earnings reports, and business journalism.
The company posted net losses for three consecutive quarters.
Net losses may also refer more broadly to any final tally showing negative results after all factors are accounted for.
