An income statement is a statement that compares revenues to expenses and presents the net income (or loss) from a period of time. It summarizes the company's financial performance over a specific period, showing how much money was made (revenues) and how much was spent (expenses), ultimately revealing the profit or loss generated during that timeframe.
