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.
