5 terms
EBITDA financial
"the term Earnings Before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization which we define as EBITDA"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
Free Cash Flow financial
"The term Free Cash Flow is calculated to be net cash provided by operating activities less cash used"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Net Cash financial
"The term Net Cash is comprised of cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits less debt amounts"
Net cash is the amount of money a company has after subtracting any debts or obligations from its total cash holdings. It shows how much cash would remain if the company used its available funds to pay off its debts. For investors, positive net cash indicates financial health and flexibility, while negative net cash may suggest potential difficulties in meeting financial commitments.
