Acronym for “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation”.
A key financial metric that measures a company’s core business performance excluding the impact of financing, tax systems, and accounting depreciation. In the e-commerce sector, it’s frequently used to compare profitability across different online retailers, as it eliminates cost structure differences between countries and business models. Higher EBITDA margins typically indicate stronger operational efficiency and cash generation capability.
