EBITDA defined by Ebitda News:
EBITDA is an acronym for (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation & Amortization) and it is calculated by taking Operating Income and adding or subtracting depreciation and/or amortization.
EBITDA is a relatively new performance metric that came into vogue during the 1980s.
The reason why is because corporations in the 1980s significantly increased the use of debt to finance their operations and acquisitions. Many investors and analysts believe that the increased interest expense as a percentage of total income due to the significant increase in debt masks the performance of an operating business and thus reduces the valuation of that business when traditional valuation metrics such as after tax income are utilized. EBITDA was created so that investors and analysts would be able to understand a company’s cash earnings power before non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and interest and taxes were expensed. EBITDA has also become an increasingly popular performance measure for global investors and analysts because many countries have varying corporate tax rates. The simple theory behind EBITDA is that it is the actual profit that a business or corporation would generate if it were to be sold to an all cash buyer.
