In true eli5 way, please can someone explain the difference between Revenu and EBITDA, and, when you would want to use/assess one rather than the other.
In: 107
ELI5.
Revenue = Sales = how much money obtained by selling stuff to customers.
EBITDA = Profits = how much money obtained from sales minus how much money spent to get those sales.
Comparing revenues across companies tells how LARGE a company is. Comparing revenues across time tells how much GROWTH a company is undergoing.
EBITDA tells roughly how EFFICIENTLY or EFFECTIVELY a company is in doing business.
