Questions, answered.

What is Southwest Airlines's EBIT?
Southwest Airlines (LUV) reported EBIT of $330M in Q1 2026.
How has Southwest Airlines's EBIT changed year-over-year?
Southwest Airlines's EBIT increased by 248.0% year-over-year, from -$223M to $330M.
What is the long-term trend for Southwest Airlines's EBIT?
Over 2 years (2021 to 2025), Southwest Airlines's EBIT has grown at a -50.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), from $1.72B to $428M.
What does EBIT mean?
Profit before interest and taxes — the business's core earning power.
How do you interpret EBIT?
Higher is better. Because it adds back interest, EBIT compares earning power across firms with very different debt loads — the base for interest coverage and the EV/EBIT multiple. For filers reporting operating income it equals that line, excluding non-operating swings.
How does EBIT compare across companies?
Comparable across companies regardless of leverage or tax domicile; the standard 'earning power' line for cross-company analysis. Least meaningful for banks and insurers.
