Profitability
Ability to generate profit; degree of profit earned.
Real World
Despite massive revenues, many UK supermarkets like Morrisons operate on razor-thin profitability, with net margins below 2%, demonstrating that high sales do not guarantee strong profit generation.
Exam Focus
Use multiple profitability measures (gross, operating, net margin) together; relying on one ratio alone weakens evaluation answers.
