EBITDA
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization — the most widely used profitability metric in M&A. EBITDA represents a company's core operating performance, stripped of financing and accounting decisions. Swiss SMEs typically trade at 3-7x EBITDA depending on industry, size, and growth.
