Which company reported an operating profit of £3m?

• A. FinEvents
• B. Touromaster
• C. ConfMED
• D. Bezique Eco

Answer: (A)

Understanding operating profit focuses on how well a company earns from its regular business activities after covering operating costs, but before interest and taxes. It’s calculated by taking revenue and subtracting the costs tied to running the core business—cost of goods sold, salaries, marketing, facilities, and other operating expenses—not including financing or tax items. FinEvents reported £3m as operating profit, which means its day-to-day operations generated £3m after those operating costs were paid. This figure reflects true profitability from core activities, distinguishing it from non-operating income or expenses.

The other companies do not show £3m in operating profit in the provided data, so they do not fit this specific criterion. That makes FinEvents the correct match for the stated figure.
