Bus/Financial - Accounting / Income statement (Resultatenrekening)
Flemish term or phrase: brutomarge
First item in the Income Statement (a certain number of billion Euros -- the largest number in the table).
Obviously, "Gross margin" is wrong. Gross margin is the profit margin, as a percentage of revenues. (Stated as a percentage, not a currency value.)
I said "Gross revenues" (or in ENUK, essentially, "Turnover").

The term gross profit margin refers to a financial metric that analysts use to assess a company's financial health. Gross profit margin is the profit after subtracting the cost of goods sold (COGS). Put simply, a company's gross profit margin is the money it makes after accounting for the cost of doing business. This metric is commonly expressed as a percentage of sales and may also be known as the gross margin ratio.

[…]

Gross profit is the total profit a company makes after deducting the cost of doing business. Put simply, gross profit is a company's total sales or revenue minus its COGS. This figure is expressed as a dollar value. Gross profit margin, on the other hand, is the profit a company makes expressed as a percentage using the formula above.
