EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It is used to analyze operating profitability before financing, tax, and non-cash depreciation and amortization effects.

What is the difference between EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA?

EBITDA is calculated from accounting earnings, while adjusted EBITDA adds or removes one-time or non-recurring items to better reflect normalized operating performance.

Is EBITDA the same as cash flow?

No. EBITDA is not cash flow because it does not include working capital changes, capital expenditures, debt repayments, or taxes actually paid.

Why is EBITDA important for valuation?

Analysts often use EBITDA multiples to estimate enterprise value, compare companies, and evaluate operating performance across businesses with different financing structures.

Practical example

If a company has revenue of 1,200,000, net income of 145,000, interest of 50,000, taxes of 45,000, depreciation of 70,000, and amortization of 30,000, EBITDA helps evaluate operating earning power before financing and non-cash charges.

Professional note

EBITDA is useful but not complete. It does not replace cash flow analysis because it ignores capital expenditures, working capital changes, debt repayments, and actual tax payments.

Related tools

Use EBITDA together with valuation, capital cost, and cash flow tools for a stronger decision.
