Explanation:

In the multistep income it's possible to segregate the operative expenses and  revenues of the non operative, it also shows the gross profit, which is  

the Net Sales Revenues less the Cost of Goods Sold.  

First it's shown the Gross Profit, then substracted the operating expenses  

to arrive at operating income.

Finally with the non operating movements we have the net Income After Taxes  and with the taxes expenses we have the Net Income of the company.
