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 Costo of Goods Sold.  

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

to arrive at operating income.
