Understanding the Game:

A racing team competing in a season. The team earns money (revenue) from race winnings, sponsorships, and merchandise sales. However, they also have expenses, such as car maintenance, pit crew salaries, and travel costs (operating expenses).

Operating Income is like the team's total winnings from all races after paying for all the race-related expenses, but before any financial moves outside the race track, like paying interest on loans or handling investments.

For example, if the racing team brings in $1 million from winnings and sales (revenue) but spends $600,000 on maintaining cars, paying the crew, and other race-related costs (operating expenses), their "race day earnings" (Operating Income) would be $400,000 ($1 million - $600,000).

This metric shows how well the team (or business) is performing in its primary competition (core business activities). It's like a snapshot of their efficiency and success in their main sport (business operations), not considering extra financial activities or obligations.
