Why EBITDA Doesn't Spell Cash Flow, But What Does? 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
“You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.”
The challenge here is to explain what we mean when we say cash flow. In recent decades bankers have seen several top contenders for the cash flow definitional sweepstakes—traditional cash flow, operating cash flow, and EBITDA. The ascendant definition has been EBITDA, largely because of its popularity with the investment community, and its use there has given it a certain cache among corporate bankers and commercial lenders.
EBITDA is a popular measure of cash flow, but it is not accurate, and bankers and investors who rely on it as a reliable indicator of repayment ability will be deeply disappointed.
This CPE webinar includes several examples and a case study to illustrate why EBITDA is flawed and how to apply better cash flow tools.
Major Topics Covered in this Webinar:
This CPE Finance Webinar will explain why EBITDA does not measure cash flow and what more accurate measures are available.
