Frequently Asked Questions
Why is EBITDA important?
EBITDA is widely used as a proxy for operating cash flow and company valuation. It strips out financing decisions (interest), tax jurisdictions (taxes), and accounting policies (D&A), enabling apples-to-apples comparison across companies.
What is a good EBITDA margin?
EBITDA margins vary widely by industry. Software/SaaS typically targets 20–40%. Healthcare services 10–20%. Manufacturing 8–14%. Retail 5–10%. A higher margin indicates better operational efficiency.
How is EBITDA used in business valuation?
Enterprise Value = EBITDA × Industry Multiple. Multiples vary by industry and growth rate. Small businesses (under $5M EBITDA) typically trade at 3–5×. Mid-market companies at 5–8×. High-growth SaaS can command 15–30× revenue (not EBITDA).
