How to calculate your IBO

IBO (Improve to Benchmark Opportunity) illustrates potential profit gains by aligning a single metric with its benchmark, assuming all other metrics remain constant. To estimate potential bottom-line improvements, subtract your figure from the benchmark and multiply by your sales. This calculation reveals the profit increase achievable by meeting the benchmark standard.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, with advertising spend at the forefront, are key drivers in gaining a competitive edge. However, this spending leaves a thin margin for other operational costs, which remain minimal in comparison.
