Calculation: Sales less all Costs and Expenses except Finance Charges and Inventory Turns (and Adjustments)
|
Example: The Round Number Company Sales = 200; COS = 80; OpEx = 72 EBIT = 200 - 80 - 72 = 48 |
EBIT is the amount of Profit available after deducting from Sales the costs associated with the operations of the company (Cost of Sales, SG&A), but before paying finance charges and taxes.
Outside North America, EBIT is more likely to be called Operating Profit or Operating Income. See discussion at Operating Income.
