EBIT measures profitability from operations independent of capital structure (debt vs. equity) and tax jurisdiction. It's useful for comparing companies with different financing choices. EBIT includes depreciation and amortization, unlike EBITDA.
Formula
EBIT = Revenue - COGS - Operating Expenses = Net Income + Interest + Taxes
Example
Net income of $17M plus $3M interest plus $5M taxes equals $25M EBIT. This shows operating performance before capital structure effects.
