Get EBITDA — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization — plus the EBITDA margin, the metric buyers and lenders lean on.
EBITDA = net income + interest + taxes + depreciation + amortization. It approximates operating cash generation but ignores capital spending and working-capital needs — a common critique. Useful for comparing companies with different debt and tax situations. Not investment advice.
EBITDA takes net income and adds back the four items that vary most with financing, tax, and accounting choices — interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. That makes it a rough proxy for operating cash flow and a common yardstick when lenders and buyers compare businesses on equal footing.
EBITDA = net income + interest + taxes + depreciation + amortization
It normalizes away debt loads and tax quirks, so two similar businesses can be compared and valued on a multiple of EBITDA regardless of how they're financed.
It ignores the real cash needed for equipment (capex) and working capital, so a business can show strong EBITDA and still be cash-starved. Use it alongside cash-flow measures.
