What You'll Learn
EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) is a popular measure of cash flow, but it is not accurate, and bankers and investors who rely on it as a reliable indicator of repayment ability will be deeply disappointed. This course will explain why EBITDA does not measure cash flow and what more accurate measures are available. The session includes several examples and a case study to illustrate why EBITDA is flawed and how to apply better cash flow tools.
Topics covered in this session
- Definition of EBITDA
- Origins of EBITDA—its relationship to traditional cash flow (TCF)
- Problems with TCF, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA
- SEC crackdown on EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

- Case Study
Who Should Attend:
- Credit analysts and credit approvers
- Commercial bankers and their managers
- Chief credit officers
