Why this page matters
EBITDA pages are useful for managers, founders, and analysts because they separate operating performance from non-cash charges and financing structure.
A practical page should show both EBITDA and EBIT so users can compare the pre-D&A view with the result after depreciation and amortization are added back out of the calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Why exclude depreciation and amortization from EBITDA?
Because EBITDA is specifically meant to show earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Why show EBIT too?
Because EBIT helps compare the EBITDA view with a profit measure that includes depreciation and amortization charges.
Should operating expenses here include depreciation and amortization?
No. This version asks for operating expenses excluding those items so EBITDA can be derived cleanly and then EBIT can be calculated after adding them back into the cost base.
