What it means

PPM (Pure Profit Margin) is true net profit margin after all costs: (Revenue - all costs) / Revenue × 100%. A healthy PPM ranges from 15-30%, depending on category and business model. PPM analysis shows profitable growth, not just revenue growth. Sellers should regularly track PPM development and prioritize cost control for sustainable, profitable growth.
