Hello guys, I would like to know if the terms sales and revenues can be interchangeable. 

Not sales volume but just sales!

Thanks

Excellent question!

Sales” is the revenue from selling products

Revenue” includes other items like interest income, capital gains etc.

However, in the context of a case interview and in most common cases, the two terms are used interchangeably.

Hi there,

In theory, sales revenue is a subset of revenues, as it includes revenues from selling goods or services only. 

As mentioned by Agrim and Pedro, you could generate revenues also in other ways (eg interest). In most cases, there won’t be other revenue streams and thus the two terms may be used interchangeably. You may still want to clarify it if in doubt.

In some cases, “sales” may also be used improperly to indicate “sales volume”, so if in doubt you may also clarify that.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

Sales and Revenues are pretty interchangeable in cases! If in doubt, you can just clarify if they mean revenues.

In a case, in general you can use them interchangeably.

You can have income coming from equity participations, as well as royaltees, interests, fees, money awarded through litigation… This is rarely a large source of revenues.

Hi!

While I agree with Agrim, I must say that the two terms are used interchangeably in case interviews.

Best,

Anto
