1. What is Adjusted EBITDA?

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial metric that takes standard EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and adds back non-recurring, irregular, and one-time items to provide a clearer picture of a company's operational performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Adjusted EBITDA formula:

\[ \text{Adjusted EBITDA} = \text{EBITDA} + \text{Adjustments} \]

Where:

\( \text{EBITDA} \) — Standard earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
\( \text{Adjustments} \) — Non-recurring items to be added back (stock compensation, restructuring costs, etc.)

Explanation: This calculation helps normalize earnings by removing unusual or infrequent expenses that don't reflect core operations.

3. Importance of Adjusted EBITDA

Details: Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and analysts to compare companies' operating performance without the effects of financing and accounting decisions, and to eliminate one-time or unusual items.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter EBITDA and adjustment amounts in USD. Adjustments can be positive or negative depending on whether they're add-backs or additional expenses.
