CATEGORY

Accounting and Audit

Definition

A loss occurs when a company's expenses exceed its revenue during a specific accounting period, resulting in a negative net income. Losses indicate that a company's operations are not generating sufficient revenue to cover its costs and may signal financial distress or poor performance. While losses reduce a company's equity and financial resources, they also provide valuable insights into areas for improvement and strategic adjustments to restore profitability and long-term sustainability.
