What operating expenses mean
Operating expenses are the recurring costs of running a company’s business beyond the direct costs used to calculate gross profit. They commonly include selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development, and other operating costs.

TickerStat uses operating expenses reported in company SEC filings when available. When a separate total is unavailable, it calculates operating expenses as aligned gross profit minus operating income for the same fiscal period. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
