  • EBITDA vs retained earnings

    From Arun Sahadeo@1:229/317 to All on Fri Jun 13 10:13:31 2025
    Am I right in thinking that the expenses deducted from retained earnings are more comprehensive than those added back to EBITDA? Retained earnings would, I guess, cover additional expenses like employee compensation, whereas EBITDA would only cover taxes, interest on loan payments, depreciation and amortisation.

    That sounds mostly right, but I don't think that interest on loan payments is EBITDA.
