Operating Leverage

Operating leverage is the degree to which a company's fixed costs dominate its cost structure, causing operating income to change more than sales in response to changes in demand. It reflects how sensitive earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are to revenue changes.

Example: Example: A company with a high fixed-cost base may see a larger percentage increase in EBIT when sales grow, compared with a company with more variable costs.
