Understanding Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
What is EBIT?
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) is the operating profit - the profit before deduction of taxes and interest. This rate is used to compare the operations of different companies in given periods. EBIT makes such a comparison possible because it doesn't include interest rates or how the companies exploit the financial leverage or tax burden.

EBIT = Revenue - Operating Expenses
Or: EBIT = Gross Profit - SG&A - Depreciation & Amortization
