However, without proper calculations and context, it can sometimes create a misleading picture of a company\u2019s true financial state.<\/p>\n<p>A common issue with EBITDA is that it does not factor in non-operating expenses like taxes, interest, or capital expenditures. This can result in inflated profitability figures, making it difficult to assess a company&#8217;s long-term financial stability.<\/p>\n<p>In the Philippines, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/business\/globe-telecom-earnings-report-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Globe Telecom<\/a> reported a 7% increase in EBITDA, reaching \u20b186.6 billion in 2024, highlighting its operational efficiency. This growth was driven by strong cost management strategies and sustained demand for digital services, which reflects the company&#8217;s financial stability.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding how to compute EBITDA and its implications is key to making informed business decisions. This article will guide you through its definition, calculations, and how software solutions can improve financial analysis.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"toc_group_article\" style=''>\r\n\t<p style='font-size:25px;font-weight:bold;

It represents a company\u2019s earnings before these financial deductions. EBITDA is often used to evaluate overall financial performance and serves as an alternative to net profit calculations.<\/p>\n<p>While EBITDA helps measure profitability, it does not account for capital expenditures like property, equipment, and factory investments. Additionally, it excludes debt-related costs by adding back interest and taxes, so it\u2019s less reflective of actual cash flow.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these limitations, EBITDA is significant in accounting because it shows earnings before financial adjustments and accounting reductions. It is commonly calculated using EBITDA formulas, starting with operating profit (EBIT) and adding back depreciation and amortization, offering a clearer view of core business profitability.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Components of EBITDA<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda-300x169.webp\" alt=\"ebitda\" width=\"664\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda-747x420.webp 747w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda-696x392.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ebitda.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>EBITDA consists of key components found in a company&#8217;s financial statements. These components help analysts evaluate a business\u2019s profitability before considering financial structure, tax obligations, and accounting adjustments.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Earnings (revenue)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/what-is-revenue\/\">Revenue<\/a> is the total income a company generates from sales and services. It shows how well a business performs and its potential for future growth. Higher revenue means more opportunities for reinvestment or shareholder payouts, which affects stock value. Revenue serves as the starting point for calculating EBITDA.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Interest (loan costs)<\/h3>\n<p>Interest is the cost a company pays on borrowed money, which varies based on loan terms, risk, and market conditions. Since financing methods differ across companies, interest is excluded from EBITDA to ensure fair comparisons. By removing interest expenses, analysts can focus on a company\u2019s core profitability without the impact of debt.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Taxes (corporate tax liabilities)<\/h3>\n<p>Businesses pay taxes based on earnings after deducting expenses like salaries and operating costs. Tax rates depend on government policies, not business performance, so EBITDA calculations exclude them. This helps analysts compare businesses fairly without tax-related distortions.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Depreciation and amortization (asset value reduction)<\/h3>\n<p>Depreciation applies to physical assets like buildings and machines, while amortization applies to intangible assets like patents. These costs are spread out over time to reflect asset usage. Since EBITDA focuses on operating performance, depreciation, and amortization are added back to earnings. This gives a clearer view of a company\u2019s profitability.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Benefits and Functions of EBITDA<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization-300x169.webp\" alt=\"Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization\" width=\"664\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization-747x420.webp 747w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization-696x392.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Earnings-Before-Interest-Taxes-Depreciation-and-Amortization.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Understanding EBITDA is crucial for business owners, investors, and financial analysts as it provides a clear picture of a company&#8217;s profitability. This metric helps assess financial performance more accurately by excluding non-operational costs and accounting adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/alternative-qne-accounting\/\">top accounting software in 2025<\/a>, businesses can automate EBITDA calculations, making financial analysis faster and more precise. Below are the key benefits of EBITDA in accounting and why it remains a valuable tool for financial evaluations.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Provides a clear valuation of a business<\/h3>\n<p>EBITDA helps determine a company&#8217;s true financial value by focusing on core earnings before deductions. Removing interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization offers a cleaner view of operational performance. Other than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/net-present-value\/\">net present value (NPV)<\/a>, EBITDAY is also a powerful metric a business must pay attention to.<\/p>\n<p>This allows potential buyers and investors to assess a company\u2019s real earning power without distortions from different tax policies or financial structures. Businesses can use the EBITDA formula to benchmark their financial health against industry standards.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Helps compare companies across industries<\/h3>\n<p>Since EBITDA excludes financial and accounting decisions, businesses can compare profitability across different industries. Companies with varying capital structures, tax rates, and depreciation methods can be evaluated on an even playing field.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially useful for investors analyzing companies in diverse sectors to identify the best investment opportunities. The EBITDA margin formula enables a straightforward assessment of operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

There are two main methods for calculating EBITDA, with the key difference being the starting point\u2014one method begins with operating income, while the other starts with net income.<\/p>\n<p>The first method follows the formula:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>EBITDA = Operating Income + Depreciation &amp; Amortization<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Operating income represents a company\u2019s profit after deducting operating expenses such as wages and the cost of goods sold, excluding interest and taxes. Since these costs have already been removed, only depreciation and amortization need to be added back to determine the meaning of EBITDA in accounting.<\/p>\n<p>The second method uses the formula:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>EBITDA = Net Income + Taxes + Interest + Depreciation &amp; Amortization<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This approach starts with net income and adds back tax and interest expenses to calculate operating income before non-cash costs. The difference between these formulas lies in including non-operational items or one-time expenses, which can affect the final calculation.<\/p>\n<p>Both formulas effectively determine a company\u2019s earnings potential, though the results may vary. Understanding how to compute EBITDA helps businesses assess their financial health, compare profitability across industries, and make better strategic decisions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Maximize EBITDA Management Efficiency with HashMicro Accounting Software<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software-300x202.webp\" alt=\"HashMicro Accounting Software\" width=\"659\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software-300x202.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software-768x518.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software-623x420.webp 623w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software-150x101.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software-696x469.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HashMicro-Accounting-Software.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/accounting-software\">HashMicro\u2019s Accounting Software<\/a> offers a powerful solution for managing EBITDA, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in financial performance tracking.
