profit loss

Business bottom line

Profit loss refers to money a business or person failed to earn due to some circumstance—an accident, breach of contract, or missed opportunity.

It's distinct from actual losses of money already possessed.

In legal and insurance contexts, profit loss or loss of profits represents the difference between expected earnings and what was actually received: The lawsuit sought damages for profit loss during the shutdown.
