Metrics glossary · Income

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

Operating profit before the cost of wearing out equipment and intangibles. A non-GAAP measure: companies define their own, often with more items added back, so theirs can differ from this one.

How Tickdelta computes it

Operating income + depreciation and amortization

From the latest 10-K's fiscal year.

Where the numbers come from

Input	XBRL line items, in the order tried
Operating income	`us-gaap:OperatingIncomeLoss`
Depreciation and amortization	`us-gaap:DepreciationDepletionAndAmortization` `us-gaap:DepreciationAndAmortization` `us-gaap:DepreciationAmortizationAndAccretionNet` `us-gaap:Depreciation`

The first line item the filing reports is used. On a company page, hover or tap the number to see which one it was and the filing it came from; click it to open that filing at SEC.

Sales (revenue)

Money from selling the company's products and services, before any costs.

Net income

Profit after every cost, interest and tax: the bottom line.

EPS

Net income per share, counting the shares that options and convertibles could add (diluted).

Operating cash flow

Cash the business itself brought in, before investing and financing. It differs from net income because of non-cash items and timing.

Free cash flow

Cash left from operations after paying for equipment and buildings. Not a GAAP measure.

Not investment advice. A metric describes what was filed; it does not say whether a stock is cheap or good. Something wrong here? Tell us.
