I think that, every time you see the word EBITDA, you should substitute the words "bullshit earnings.

By focusing on a few key financial metrics, board members can transform these statements from a labyrinth into a compass, guiding them through the company's financial landscape.

All else being constant, Gross Profit is more important than EBITDA.

We usually had four big targets a year: market share, expenses, EBITDA and cash.
Cristiane Correa (DREAM BIG: How the Brazilian Trio behind 3G Capital - Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles and Beto Sicupira - acquired Anheuser-Busch, Burger King and Heinz)
We have lifted EBITDA from a $30 million run rate to $60 million in the 2012 financial year. This has involved rationalisation of the product range and brands, with a reduction of SKUs from 450 to 250, together with some cost savings throughout the group.

Bad terminology is the enemy of good thinking. When companies or investment professionals use terms such as "EBITDA" and "pro forma," they want you to unthinkingly accept concepts that are dangerously flawed.
Mark Gavagan (Gems from Warren Buffett: Wit and Wisdom from 34 Years of Letters to Shareholders)
As any business person will tell you, the value of a traditional company is based on thirty times its EBITDA (earnings before income and tax depreciation of assets). If the company makes $1 million a year, it is said to be worth $30 million.
Gurbaksh Chahal (The Dream: How I Learned the Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurship and Made Millions)
As any business person will tell you, the value of a traditional company is based on thirty times its EBITDA (earnings before income and tax depreciation of assets). If the company makes $1 million a year, it is said to be worth $30 million. But the Internet wasn’t measured in those terms because most people weren’t making any money. Instead, Internet companies were evaluated on the perception that someday, in the not-too-distant future, simply because of their connection to the Internet, they would be rolling in huge amounts of cash.
Gurbaksh Chahal (The Dream: How I Learned the Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurship and Made Millions)
EBITDA, as we noted earlier, is no longer Wall Street’s favorite measure to watch. Now the hot metric is free cash flow. Some companies have looked at free cash flow for years. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is the bestknown example, though Buffett calls it owner earnings. As Buffett’s term suggests, it’s an important metric for entrepreneurial companies.

Market value of equity: The price per share or market capitalization. Market value of firm: The sum of the market values of both debt and equity. Market value of operating assets or enterprise value: The sums of the market values of debt and equity but with cash netted out of the value. When measuring earnings and book value, you can again measure them from the perspective only of equity investors or of both debt and equity (firm). Thus, earnings per share and net income are earnings to equity, whereas operating income measures earnings to the firm. The shareholders' equity on a balance sheet is book value of equity; the book value of the entire business includes debt; and the book value of invested capital is that book value, net of cash. To provide a few illustrations: you can divide the market value of equity by the net income in order to estimate the PE ratio (measuring how much equity investors are paying per dollar of earnings) or divide enterprise value by EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to get a sense of the market value of operating assets relative to operating cash flow. The central reason for standardizing, though, does not change. We want to compare these numbers across companies.

Even the simplest multiples are defined and computed differently by different analysts. A PE ratio for a company can be computed using earnings from the last fiscal year (current PE), the last four quarters (trailing PE), or the next four quarters (forward), yielding very different estimates. It can also vary depending on whether you use diluted or primary earnings. The first test to run on a multiple is to examine whether the numerator and denominator are defined consistently. If the numerator is an equity value, then the denominator should be an equity value as well. If the numerator is a firm value, then the denominator should be a firm value as well. To illustrate, the PE ratio is a consistently defined multiple since the numerator is the price per share (which is an equity value) and the denominator is earnings per share (which is also an equity value). So is the enterprise value to EBITDA multiple since the numerator and denominator are both measures of operating assets; the enterprise value measures the market value of the operating assets of a company, and the EBITDA is the cash flow generated by the operating assets. In contrast, the price-to-sales ratio and price to EBITDA are not consistently defined since they divide the market value of equity by an operating measure. Using these multiples will lead you to finding any firm with a significant debt burden to be cheap.

If “nonrecurring” charges keep recurring, “extraordinary” items crop up so often that they seem ordinary, acronyms like EBITDA take priority over net income, or “pro forma” earnings are used to cloak actual losses, you may be looking at a firm that has not yet learned how to put its shareholders’ long-term interests first.9
Benjamin Graham (The Intelligent Investor)
References to EBITDA make us shudder — does management think the tooth fairy pays for capital expenditures?
Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders, 2023)
otro lado del espectro es que al mismo tiempo las empresas buscan la forma de satisfacer estas necesidades, eligiendo aquellas oportunidades de digitalización que afecten de forma positiva su EBITDA o beneficios gruesos a través de la optimización de sus activos inmuebles. Es por eso que en un momento como el de ahora en el que hay tantas startups y nuevas estrategias a su disposición, para enfrentarse a esta saturación utilizan a grueso modo cuatro aspectos principales de análisis que les ayudan a discernir la prioridad
Rita Marantos Peralta (Manual de Proptech: Startups, innovación y disrupción en la industria inmobiliaria. (Spanish Edition))
The outstanding debt of six conglomerates—Lanco, Jaypee, GMR, Videocon, GVK and Essar—was even more excessive than ADAG in relation to their respective EBITDAs. However, ADAG had the highest outstanding debt among the ten conglomerates. ADAG was thus billed as India’s most indebted company by the media.
Nandini Vijayaraghavan (Unfinished Business: Evolving Capitalism in the World’s Largest Democracy)
some investors treat depreciation as if it were not an expense by adding it back to operating income. For example, they use a metric called EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) to analyze the earning power of a company and compare it to its competitors. This kind of thinking is flawed.
Mariusz Skonieczny (The Basics of Understanding Financial Statements: Learn how to read financial statements by understanding the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement)
Trumpeting EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a particularly pernicious practice. Doing so implies that depreciation is not truly an expense, given that it is a “non-cash” charge. Imagine, if you will, that at the beginning of this year a company paid all of its employees for the next ten years of their service (in the way they would lay out cash for a fixed asset to be useful for ten years). In the following nine years, compensation would be a “non-cash” expense—a reduction of a prepaid compensation asset established this year. Would anyone care to argue that the recording of the expense in years two through ten would be simply a bookkeeping formality?
Warren Buffett (The Essays of Warren Buffett : Lessons for Corporate America)
EBITDA is an acronym for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization." It is computed by taking a company’s net income for a particular period and adding back the amount of interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such period, all of which, under GAAP, have been deducted in arriving at the net income figure. Financial analysts consider EBITDA to be one of the most important measures of a company’s operating financial performance.

the CVC group has battled with its Channel 9 media purchase from day one. Having paid a double digit EBITDA purchase price this debt laden deal has delivered a huge equity loss for CVC of approximately $2 billion.
Bill Ferris (Inside Private Equity: Thrills, spills and lessons by the author of Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained)
Net wages: “It’s not what you make, but what you net” after paying the FIRE sector, basic utilities and taxes. The usual measure of disposable personal income (DPI) refers to how much employees take home after income-tax withholding (designed in part by Milton Friedman during World War II) and over 15% for FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) to produce a budget surplus for Social Security and health care (half of which are paid by the employer). This forced saving is lent to the U.S. Treasury, enabling it to cut taxes on the higher income brackets. Also deducted from paychecks may be employee withholding for private health insurance and pensions. What is left is by no means freely available for discretionary spending. Wage earners have to pay a monthly financial and real estate “nut” off the top, headed by mortgage debt or rent to the landlord, plus credit card debt, student loans and other bank loans. Electricity, gas and phone bills must be paid, often by automatic bank transfer – and usually cable TV and Internet service as well. If these utility bills are not paid, banks increase the interest rate owed on credit card debt (typically to 29%). Not much is left to spend on goods and services after paying the FIRE sector and basic monopolies, so it is no wonder that markets are shrinking. (See Hudson Bubble Model later in this book.) A similar set of subtrahends occurs with net corporate cash flow (see ebitda). After paying interest and dividends – and using about half their revenue for stock buybacks – not much is left for capital investment in new plant and equipment, research or development to expand production.

¡El ratio Deuda/EBITDA10 del 2018 había alcanzado el valor de 31!, es decir, el monto de la deuda era 30 veces mayor que el del flujo operativo de la empresa (excluidas la depreciación y la amortización).
Carlos E. Paredes Lanatta (La tragedia de las empresas sin dueño: El caso Petroperú (Spanish Edition))
Furthermore, we do not think so-called EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a meaningful measure of performance. Managements that dismiss the importance of depreciation - and emphasize "cash flow" or EBITDA - are apt to make faulty decisions, and you should keep that in mind as you make your own investment decisions,
