How EBITDA is Used:

  • Comparability: Enables objective comparisons across companies and industries, regardless of capital structure or accounting standards

  • Valuation: Serves as the foundation for company valuation investors often apply an EBITDA multiple to determine enterprise value and financial health.

  • Liquidity Indicator: Demonstrates a firm’s ability to generate cash flow from daily operations before investments or financing costs

  • Problem Analysis: A precise EBITDA calculation helps identify inefficiency and highlight areas where you can cut costs, manage working capital, and improve profit margin
