Bottom line
"Bottom line" is the net income that is calculated after subtracting the expenses from revenue. Since this forms the last line of the income statement, it is informally called "bottom line." It is important to investors as it represents the profit for the year attributable to the shareholders.
After revision to IAS 1 in 2003, the Standard is now using profit or loss for the year rather than net profit or loss or net income as the descriptive term for the bottom line of the income statement.
Requirements of IFRS
On 6 September 2007, the International Accounting Standards Board issued a revised IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009.
A business entity adopting IFRS must include:
-
a Statement of Comprehensive Income or
-
two separate statements comprising:
-
an Income Statement displaying components of profit or loss and
-
a Statement of Comprehensive Income that begins with profit or loss (bottom line of the income statement) and displays the items of other comprehensive income for the reporting period. (IAS1.81)
All non-owner changes in equity (i.e. comprehensive income ) shall be presented in either in the statement of comprehensive income (or in a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income). Components of comprehensive income may not be presented in the statement of changes in equity.
Comprehensive income for a period includes profit or loss (net income) for that period and other comprehensive income recognised in that period.
All items of income and expense recognised in a period must be included in profit or loss unless a Standard or an Interpretation requires otherwise. (IAS 1.88) Some IFRSs require or permit that some components to be excluded from profit or loss and instead to be included in other comprehensive income. (IAS 1.89)
The statement of comprehensive income should include: (IAS 1.82)
-
Revenue
-
Finance costs (including interest expenses)
-
Share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method
-
Tax expense
-
A single amount comprising the total of (1) the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and (2) the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation
-
Profit or loss
-
Each component of other comprehensive income classified by nature
-
Share of the other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method
-
Total comprehensive income

-
Profit or loss for the period attributable to non-controlling interests and owners of the parent
-
