How much company has earned money by purchase, production and sale activities.
2. For calculation of leverage, we need to calculate EBITDA. Leverage is Debt / EBITDA. This shows the relationship between total debt and earning before interest, tax and depreciation. It is 3 or more, then it is not good.
3. On the basis of EBITDA, we can calculate interest coverage ratio. Interest coverage ratio is EBITDA / interest expenses.
4. If any company has large numbers of fixed assets or intangible assets and long term debt, it means, every year, there will be big amount of depreciation and amortization and interest. If it will deduct from operating earning, our operating earning will not show exact earn money from manufacturing or trading.
