For the college student:

Earnings Before Interest, Tuition, Drugs, and Alcohol

EBITDA

In finance, "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization," sometimes "EBIT-DA." In accounting, a way-station in the slow morph from "conceptual" to "pure cash flow" reporting. Compare "EBAWDWTCAE"--"earnings before anything we don't want to count as expenses."

The net is negative but the EBITDA is sensational.
