Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization - EBITDA
Image 1 A measure of cash flow calculated as:

= Revenue - Expenses (excluding tax, interest, depreciation and amortization)

Image 2 EBITDA is looking at the cash flow of a company. By not including interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we can see clearly the amount of money a company is bringing in.

This is especially useful when a company wants to takeover another company because the EBITDA would cover any loan payments needed to finance the takeover.
