Formula used
EBITDA = Net income + Interest + Taxes + Depreciation + Amortization
EBITDA = EBIT + Depreciation + Amortization
EBITDA = Revenue − COGS − Operating expenses (excluding D&A) + Other operating income
All three are equivalent when inputs are aligned and definitions are consistent. Non-operating items and one-offs should be removed for comparability.

FAQs
EBITDA approximates operating cash profitability by adding back non‑cash charges and removing capital structure and tax effects. It enables peer comparison and valuation multiples like EV/EBITDA.
Use the add‑backs method if you have net income and the add‑back components. Use operating lines if you build from revenue. EBIT + D&A is convenient when EBIT is given.
Policies vary. Many analysts treat stock‑based compensation as a real expense and do not add it back. This tool leaves it within operating expenses unless you explicitly remove it.
Yes. Early‑stage or distressed businesses may have negative EBITDA due to low gross margin or high operating expenses, indicating core operations are not yet profitable.
EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization. EBIT includes them. If you have EBIT, adding back D&A yields EBITDA.
Exclude one‑offs and non‑operating items. Align definitions across periods. Be careful with capitalized costs moving between the income statement and balance sheet, which can affect comparability.
Tips
- Use consistent accounting treatments across comparisons.
- Cross‑check results across the three formulas to reconcile.
- Strip non‑recurring items to reflect core operations.
