About this lesson

⁉️What is EBITDA? ‼️Answer: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. This is a profit metric that is often called a ‘Cash Flow Proxy’ because it excludes all non-cash charges. 🤯Explanation: This question can range from a simple definition question to further questions on the underlying concept. While the definition is important, it’s more important to understand what this metric is used for. In particular, it’s a quick way to assess cash flow generation without doing the full Unlevered Free Cash Flow formula. Because it’s so much easier to calculate, it’s commonly used across Investment Banking and Private Equity.
