Provides an indication of the company's operating profitability before considering interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses. It can be used as a performance measure to evaluate the company's efficiency and financial health. Let’s understand this from the context of your role to calculate EBITDA, using some financial data. Revenue from Cement Sales : ₹10,000,000 Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) : ₹6,000,000 Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) : ₹1,500,000 Depreciation Expense : ₹300,000 Amortization Expense : ₹100,000 Interest Expense : ₹200,000 Taxes : ₹500,000 Understand EBITDA To calculate EBITDA, we follow this formula: EBITDA = Revenue - COGS - SG&A - Depreciation Expense - Amortization Expense Using the given data: EBITDA = ₹10,000,000 - ₹6,000,000 - ₹1,500,000 - ₹300,000 - ₹100,000 EBITDA = ₹2,100,000 In this example, the EBITDA is ₹2,100,000. EBITDA provides an indication of the team, department and company's operating profitability before considering interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses. It can be used as a performance measure to evaluate the company's efficiency and financial health. You can also use this as a tool to help some or many of channel partners understand their own business from a better perspective, in case you identify they have low awareness of EBITDA. New insights to deliver greater Value & ROI Activity Make more informed decisions Set and achieve financial ✓ Existing customers & dealers? targets ✓ New partners?
