The company still pays the same amount of Rent, but it has to split it up artificially into Interest and Depreciation.<\/p>\n
So, you must be careful to deduct either the entire Rental Expense, or none of it, in these metrics.<\/p>\n
If you deduct the entire Rental Expense, do not add Operating Leases to Enterprise Value; vice versa if you exclude or add back the entire Rental Expense.<\/p>\n
For example, with EBIT and EBITDA under U.S. GAAP, you should not<\/strong> add Operating Leases to TEV because both of these deduct the full Rental Expense.<\/p>\nBut with EBITDA under IFRS, you should<\/strong> add Operating Leases to TEV because EBITDA excludes the full Rental Expense in that system.<\/p>\nThis quick comparison table sums up the differences with Operating Leases:<\/p>\n

<\/span>EBIT vs EBITDA vs Net Income: Which Valuation Metric is Best?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nThis is a stupid question because it assumes that there is a \u201cbest\u201d metric.<\/p>\n
When valuing companies, you always look at a range of metrics: Revenue, EBIT, EBITDA, Net Income, FCF, etc.<\/p>\n
Each one tells you something different, which is why you want to look at more than one \u2013 to get the full picture.<\/p>\n
With the EBIT vs. EBITDA choice, it depends on how you want to treat CapEx.<\/p>\n
To completely ignore it, use EBITDA.<\/p>\n
To factor it in, partially, use EBIT. Also, remember that EBIT isn\u2019t valid in valuation multiples under IFRS, so you have to rely more on EBITDA and EBITDAR there.<\/p>\n
