EBITDA
Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
Formula
CM3 − overhead costs
EBITDA is what the business earned from trading, before financing and accounting effects. For most owner-run ecommerce businesses it is close enough to 'the profit' to be used that way day to day.
In nouz it is CM3 minus overhead: everything the store made, minus every cost it carries, with recurring costs spread across the days they belong to rather than landing whole on the day the invoice arrived.
It is not a tax figure and it is not your annual accounts. It is the operating number, available the same day.
