French term or phrase: compte de résultat analytique
From a company presentation of a consulting firm:

Le P&L ci-contre est issu des travaux de VDD et présente le ***compte de résultat analytique*** consolidé des 4 sociétés formant le Groupe.

It's the analytique part that has me stumped.

detailed/multi-step income statement
Explanation:
Hard to know exactly what the fr means by *analytique* or whether it's just being used to spruce up the description or impress readers—a term the writer picked up somewhere and is using carelessly here?

You might even consider leaving out "detailed" altogether, since informed readers will be able to tell for themselves whether it is so or not.

Explanation:
As Wolf Draeger pointed out, in English the name of the document tends to be focused on the specific method that was used. So ideally, you would get more information on that.
If it's not possible to get that information, this is my suggestion for a general and vague term. Please note I don't think those terms are widely used though. So the question is whether they would be clearly understood or not, and since English is not my native language, I can't speak to that.

neutral  Elisabeth Richard: This would just be (one way of translating) compte de résultat, but what about analytique ? -> Answer, yes I skimmed the attachment, nothing there about analytique.

  -> did you read the attachment?// the attachment says that the P&L account is based on cost accounting. In the absence of cost accounting, the P&L account would be incorrect.

agree  Elisabeth Richard: Even though this is a misuse of the word analytique in the original text, but the context proved you right.

Reference: Compte de résultat analytique

Reference information:
Grâce à votre bilan et votre compte de résultat, issus de la comptabilité générale, vous disposez d’une vision globale de la situation financière de votre entreprise… Par les soldes intermédiaires de gestion, vous avez des indications sur votre activité, des ratios qui vous donnent certaines informations… Pour mieux piloter votre entreprise, vous avez besoin de plus de détails, d’une vision opérationnelle de vos résultats, de vos coûts… La comptabilité générale analyse les flux financiers par nature, là où la comptabilité analytique les analyses par destination

Quelques exemples d’axes d’analyse : par activité… par centre de profit (business unit)… par fonctions... La présentation du résultat de l’entreprise se fera à partir de ces axes (on parle de Reporting ou de Tableaux de Bord) et non plus sous forme de Compte de Résultat classique, même si on y retrouve les principaux indicateurs de la Comptabilité Générale.

Exemples de Compte de Résultat Analytique: [suivent deux tableaux]
