Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation.
EBITDA is designed to compare underlying operating performance over time or between businesses, free from any distortions caused by differing financial structures, tax, or the historical cost of fixed assets.
It is sometimes written out in full in a slightly different order - especially in North America - as:
Earnings Before Tax, Interest, Depreciation and Amortisation.
(But it is still abbreviated to EBITDA in either case.)
