Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 98,194 | | | $ | 80,044 | | | | 22.7 | %"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Portfolio Optimization Plan financial
"exclude Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and non-cash share-based compensation"
local currency adjusted financial
"Local Currency Adjusted EBITDA (1) | | Mid-Teen to High Teen Growth"
Credit Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Net Debt to Credit Adjusted EBITDA | | | 2.3x | | | | 2.4 x"
Credit-adjusted EBITDA is a measure of a company's operating profit that starts with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and then adjusts for credit-related items such as expected loan losses, bad-debt allowances, or other financing and credit costs. Investors use it to see how much cash the business generates after accounting for credit risks, which helps assess the company’s ability to pay debt or cover losses—like judging a car’s fuel efficiency after adding the weight of heavy cargo.
Net Debt financial
"Net Debt | | $ | 746,722 | | | $ | 693,006"
Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.
