Definition - What does Net Sales mean?

Net sales is the amount of income that a company generates from sales after certain amounts have been subtracted.

Justipedia explains Net Sales

Net sales is an important figure for both potential investors of a company and for regulators of the company's industry. Net sales can help reveal how profitable a company is. A higher number of sales means that the company's products are in higher demand, and it can indicate that the company is more successful. However, the profitability of a company does not only depend on sales; it also depends on other factors such as profit margins and operating costs.
