The limit
What this number does not tell you
EBITDA is not cash and it is not a regulated accounting figure: there is no single definition, and companies compute it their own way. It deliberately ignores the cost of the assets the business consumes, which for a capital-intensive company is not a detail.
Every metric on this site is published with its blind spot stated. A figure without its limit is half a fact.
