Revenue is known as the top line because it appears first on a company's
income statement. Net income, also known as the bottom line, is revenues
minus expenses. There is a 
profit
 when revenues exceed expenses.
To increase profit, and hence 
earnings per share
(EPS) for its shareholders, a
company increases revenues and/or reduces expenses. Investors often consider
a company's revenue and net income separately to determine the health of a
business. Net income can grow while revenues remain stagnant because of
cost-cutting.
Such a situation does not bode well for a company's long-term growth. When
public companies report their 
quarterly earnings
, two figures that receive a lot
of attention are revenues and EPS. A company beating or missing analysts'
revenue and earnings per share expectations can often move a stock's price.
Important: Revenue may also be referred to as sales and is used in
the 
price-to-sales (P/S) ratio
—an alternative to the 
price-to-earnings
(P/E) ratio
 that uses revenue in the denominator.
Types of Revenue
A company's revenue may be subdivided according to the divisions that
generate it. For example, Toyota Motor Corporation may classify revenue across
each type of vehicle. Alternatively, it can choose to group revenue by car type
(i.e. compact vs. truck).
A company may also distinguish revenue between tangible and intangible
product lines. For example, Apple products include iPad, Apple Watch, and
Apple TV. Alternatively, Apple may be interested in separately analyzing its
Apple Music, Apple TV+, or iCloud services.

Revenue can be divided into 
operating revenue
—sales from a company's core
business—and non-operating revenue which is derived from secondary
sources. As these non-operating revenue sources are often unpredictable or
nonrecurring, they can be referred to as one-time events or gains. For example,
proceeds from the sale of an asset, a windfall from investments, or money
awarded through litigation are non-operating revenue.
