How should that 300 represent operating cash flow? Does this mean my cash from operations has increased by 300 or decreased by 300? Neither, so what does 300 mean?

Expert Solution
Step 1

EBIT means earnings before interest and taxes.

 

Note that:

Revenue – cost of goods sold = gross margin

 

Gross margin – selling general and administrative expenses – operating expenses = EBITDA

 

EBITDA – depreciation charges – amortization charges = EBIT

 

EBIT – interest expenses = profit before tax (PBT)

 

PBT  - tax = net income (or profit after tax)
