/EBITA Full Form
The full form of EBITA is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization.
You can look at it as a company's raw profit before the government takes its cut or the bank takes its interest on the loan. It looks a lot like EBITDA, but here you intentionally keep the expense of intangible assets like a patent or brand name, which lose their value over time, instead of hiding them. People comparing two businesses use this to see who is actually running a tighter ship without getting tricked by different loan structures.
