Back to Basics
What is EBITDA?
EBITDA = Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization.
EBITDA tells you how much money a company makes from its actual business, before paying interest, taxes, or accounting for wear-and-tear costs (like depreciation).
Why investors track it:
- It shows pure operating performance
- Helps compare companies across sectors
- Reveals profit trends even before net profit moves
Like Crompton’s Q4: EBITDA up 30% = stronger core performance.
Net profit tells you how the story ends. EBITDA shows how strong the plot really is.
