EBITDA is the earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It’s a measure of a company’s overall financial performance and is an alternative to net income. This measure focuses on the capacity of a business to make money, but it ignores the capital investment costs like property, plant, and equipment.
