December 2026 and the full year

December sales beat budget by $14k, but operating profit came in $15k short: a late shipment was flown in and we spent more on holiday ads. Over the year we made $467k, $28k more than budget, and ended with $770k in the bank.

The variances that matter

    Twelve months, January to December 2026

    RevenueBars are actual. The white tick is budget.
    Operating profitRevenue less cost of goods and operating costs.
    Cash at month endThe dashed line is the least we want to hold.

    The twelve months add up to the year to date: $4,767k of sales and $467k of operating profit.

    The year-end budget was $742k, so we finished $28k ahead. The low point was $411k at the end of October, when holiday stock was paid for and not yet sold. That was $61k above our $350k floor, which is about one month of costs.

    How to read this. Operating profit is before interest and tax. Budget is the plan the board approved before the year began. Cash is the bank balance on the last day of the month. A cost that comes in under budget is shown in mint, the same as a sale that comes in over.
