Other operating income

Trading income that does not come from selling goods or services.

This line gathers what a company takes in from its activity without it being turnover: operating grants, recharges, royalties, incidental rents, gains on disposal of fixed assets, releases of provisions, insurance recoveries.

It is worth a look when it is of the same order as turnover, or larger. A result carried by other operating income is a result carried by something that will not necessarily happen again next year.

Financial income — interest, dividends, exchange gains — is not here: it has its own lines further down the profit and loss account.
