Operating Leverage

Japanese: 営業レバレッジ - えいぎょうればれっじ
Operating Leverage

Financial leverage is the use of liabilities that require fixed expenditures, such as loans and bonds, or the use of assets that require fixed costs, such as machinery and equipment. These are called "leverage" because they act like a "lever" to magnify fluctuations in performance. The former is called "financial leverage" and the latter is called "operating leverage."
[Financial Leverage]
When a company can achieve a certain return on capital by investing a certain amount of capital, the return on equity is affected by the ratio of debt (which requires fixed interest payments) to equity (which receives the residual profit after deducting interest from operating profit) used to raise capital.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "operating leverage" are listed below.
