THANK YOU for this meaningful video,I don't know anything about finance,I have been working for my company for 10 years now and they've sent us what I assume to be a shortened version of Annual Report in which Growth has been experienced. Our CEO mentioned EBITDA in the newsletter,because this is new to me I quickly googled what this EBITDA means and your channel was the first in line,needless to say how impressed I am by the simple form of explanation. I may not be a financial/accounting guru but I got a rough sketch to what's happening in the business.After watching this video I think I'm going to school to learn how to read Balance Sheet and Income Statement Account. Thank you once again.

Great explanation of EBITDA. Ignoring depreciation always seemed like the dumbest thing in the world, but it would make sense to ignore that if items currently depreciating are not reflective of what will replace them in the future (old expensive system to be replaced with cheaper system at end of life). Not a perfect metric but not a useless metric either.

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Agree with you, Shawn! EBITDA can be a useful proxy for cash flow from operating activities, as depreciation is a non-cash expense. Here is another example of calculating EBITDA with real world numbers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbCZ6R7pJaaqKs

[@alysonboyer4931]

I see where this would be useful in our trucking business. And even though it is somewhat important in a counseling field. I think too many corporations and owners get so focused on #'s and not on the quality of their services. So how can one keeping in mind the EBIT/EBITDA and the quality of service delivery where neither one of these are being compromised. The corporation I work for is all about numbers. And for me it is about the focus and the needs of the client that I am serving and that will eventually take care of the EBIT/EBITDA,

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Very good point, Alyson! Thanks for your comment. I agree with you that having a balanced/holistic view of a company's performance (financial performance as well as employee and customer satisfaction) is very important. In order to convince top management to invest/spend at your company, you probably have to walk them through the linkage between quality of service delivery which impacts customer satisfaction which in turn impacts revenue and margin. Unfortunately, this is probably not a straightforward 1-to-1 equation, but I hope you can show the "big picture" with a good amount of data... let the numbers talk!

[@GaneshKumarganeshkmr16]

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I have one clarification: 1. @1.53 - Revenue - Cost of Sales = Gross Profit. Again, Gross Profit - SG&A - R&D = EBITDA. Since we have already considered Cost of Sales to arrive at Gross Profit, what is the significance of S in SG&A? Isn't Cost of Sales = Selling expenses?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hello! I am very happy that you ask this question, as this is a common misunderstanding. Cost Of Sales is also called Cost Of Goods Sold (if the company sells products) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHa4n3ablJ58Y9U or Cost Of Services Sold (if the company sells services). Example: if you run a furniture store, then you might be delivering and invoicing a chair to your customer (1 unit sold times selling price). The Cost Of Sales, or Cost Of Goods Sold (1 unit sold times cost per unit) consists of the materials that went into the chair, the labor for the workers assembling it, and any machine cost in production. In SG&A, the S is for selling expenses, which would be the brochures that the company makes to promote its products, the salaries of the sales people in the store that interact with customers, etc. Hope that helps!

[@maheshs4056]

This single video has helped me understand EBITDA better compared to other videos and articles. Thank you. Question regarding the formula at 2:00: When a company earns money, they usually have to first pay taxes. So doesn't it make sense to minus the (Taxes, Interest) variables from the Gross Profit, before R&D and SGA? The remaining money would be the Net Income, which can then be spent on R&D, right?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hello Mahesh! Thank you for the kind words. Those are very good questions. A lame answer to them would be "that's just the way we have agreed to do it". 😉 An attempt at a better answer is: it makes logical sense (to me at least) to take revenue minus the costs to produce the product or services (COGS), which gets you to the Gross Margin subtotal, minus the cost of the support (SG&A) and R&D functions, which gets you to the Operating Margin subtotal. As the term suggests, Operating Margin, indicates the profitability generated by the operational activities, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHSwe619ZqaUjqM You subsequently deduct interest expenses (driven by the financing structure) and corporate income taxes (driven by the countries you are located in and their tax rates/regimes) to get to Net Income. Interest expense and corporate income taxes are non-operational charges. For a more detailed walk-through of the income statement, see my analysis of Microsoft: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqKQZWeGfcx0n7c

As you said, it depends on the industry. I came across this video as I researched prospective investments. The last line in this video made me consciously aware of something I already knew, but didn't heavily consider.

Wonderful video, thank you! I assume this is related just to the USA tax system right?

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Hi Victoria! EBIT and EBITDA are generic non-GAAP metrics. The T stands for corporate income taxes. Any corporate income tax is excluded, whether it is US tax or taxes in other countries. Multinational companies could have difference in net income due to the countries they operate in and the respective taxes rates. EBIT and EBITDA exclude that effect.

Hi again, EBITDA = Gross Profit - R&D - S,G&A. For this equation to work shouldn't D&A not be included in calculating Gross Profit & SG&A? I think in financial statments D&A is included in the calculations for Gross Profit & SG&A.

Hi Sami! There can be differences in the way a company presents its income statement. For example, telecom company Verizon (where depreciation and amortization is a huge number), splits depreciation and amortization out as a separate line item. On the other hand, a company such as Apple does not specify depreciation and amortization separately in the income statement, but D&A is inside other line items. If a lot of the D&A relates to manufacturing sites and equipment, then that part of the D&A would be in COGS. More information on this in my follow-up video on the EBITDA calculation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3mXlqtrpsSdZ9k

Thanks for this :)

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

You're welcome! Some more discussion of these terms in my video on EBIT-EBITA-EBITDA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHrQoWhnr76Wr5Y

[@EwaR92]

The video could've included even more practical examples in the context of income statement. As a beginner stock investor I'm still not sure about if or why should I check EBIDTA and what conclusions can I take away from it. :/

[@TheFinanceStoryteller]

Thank you for the feedback! I have some more videos on EBITDA (how to calculate, comparison for DJIA30 companies) available in a playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbCZ6R7pJaaqKs Also, the "how to analyze an income statement" case study (Walmart) might help you as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKDZfIqXit2Xo7c

yea but we need the laymans explanation for example, when a trader says 10X Ebitda or 20X Ebitda....what the heck do they mean? The explanation of Ebit/Da was perfect though. it's just understanding how the Traders slang it out.
