Operating margin
Profitability of the business itself, before the effects of how it is financed and how it is taxed. Two identical operations with different debt loads show the same operating margin and different net margins.

The limit
What this number does not tell you
Operating income is the line most affected by where a company chooses to put unusual items. Restructuring charges above or below it change the figure without changing the business.
Every metric on this site is published with its blind spot stated. A figure without its limit is half a fact.
