The profit that is made by a division, a segment, or a unit within an entity. Principally, a standalone profit is that part of the profit that relates to the operation of a single segment or division, being a profit center in the entity. It is the net income generated by a part of the entity that functions or operates independently.
In a parent-subsidiary relationship, standalone profit contrasts with consolidated profit, which reflect the overall profit of an entity, summing up all standalone profits from different parts (subsidiaries) of the entity, for a certain period of time.
