Calculate EBITDA
To calculate EBITDA, it is first necessary to calculate operating profit, which is the subtraction from net revenue, cost of goods sold (CPV), operating expenses and net financial expenses (expenses excluding less interest income and other financial items).
Then, it is only added to the operating profit, depreciation and amortization that are included in COGS and operating expenses.
