2. Revenue Performance
This section details the revenue generated from the partnership during the reporting period.

3. Cost Breakdown

4. Net Gain (or Loss)
This section calculates the net gain or loss from the partnership by subtracting the total costs from the total revenue.
- Net Gain/Loss:
- Formula: Net Gain/Loss = Total Revenue – Total Costs
- Example: $900,000 (Revenue) – $625,000 (Costs) = $275,000 (Net Gain)
| Revenue | Costs | Net Gain/Loss |

| 900,000 | 625,000 | 275,000 |
- Analysis of Net Gain/Loss:
- If there is a net gain, explain what drove the financial success (e.g., high product sales, efficient cost control).
- If there is a net loss, provide insight into the causes (e.g., unanticipated costs, lower-than-expected sales) and the corrective actions planned.
5. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
In addition to the revenue and cost analysis, it is important to track specific KPIs to evaluate the partnership’s overall performance.
- ROI (Return on Investment):
- Calculate ROI based on the net gain and total investment.
- Formula: ROI = (Net Gain / Total Costs) x 100
- Example: ROI = ($275,000 / $625,000) x 100 = 44%
| KPI | Metric |

| Return on Investment | 44% |
| Customer Acquisition | 5,000 new customers |
