It is a double negative, subtracting is essentially adding a negative, therefore subtracting would be a negative negative number, which would be a positive, my mom helped me remember it by thinking if a bad thing happened to a bad person, it would be good, if a good thing happened to a good person it would be good, if a bad thing happened to a good person it would be bad, ect.

4 x -6 = -24 A good way to remember how to do this is to multiply the two numbers as you would if they were both positive. Then, if only one of the numbers is a negative, the answer will be a negative. If both numbers are a negative, the answer will be a positive.
That's a good question, all you need to do is just put a negative sign before the fraction. So in this case, it would be 37 over 1 with negative sign before it.

Yes, EBITDA Margin can be negative. When a company is positive it is due to good efficiencies processes that have kept certain expenses low. While Negative EBITDA can suggest the contrary.
EBITDA Margin is the ratio of EBITDA to Sales Revenue. Example: Revenue of $10,458 and EBITDA of $871 yeilds EBITDA Margin of 8.3%.
EBITDA Margin = EBITDA/Sales
Depends on what you're comparing it to. Since EBITDA is a dollar amount, it's not really something you can compare between companies, especially of different sizes. Obviously, you want EBITDA to be positive, as it is essentially revenue. It would help with comparisons to convert it to a percentage change. (EBITDA2 - EBITDA1)/(EBITDA1) where EBITDA2 is EBITDA at period 2 and EBITDA1 is EBITDA at period 1. That way, you can see how much EBITDA has grown for a given company in a percentage. Then, you can compare it to similar companies. Higher is usually better.
The acronym "EBITDA" stands for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization". It is an equation used by large companies to predict and measure financial results.
What is EBITDA?Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP metric that can be used to evaluate a company's profitability. EBITDA = Operating Revenue - Operating Expenses + Other RevenueIts name comes from the fact that Operating Expenses do not include interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization. EBITDA is not a defined measure according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and thus can be calculated however a company wishes. It is also not a measure of cash flow.EBITDA differs from the operating cash flow in a cash flow statement primarily by excluding payments for taxes or interest as well as changes in working capital. EBITDA also differs from free cash flow because it excludes cash requirements for replacing capital assets. EBITDA is used when evaluating a company's ability to earn a profit, and it is often used in stock analysis.
There is no difference, both are the same.

Its normally EBITDA and yes it is.
Although there are some exceptions, in most situations, the EBITDA (or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) does allow for unrealized foreign exchange gain.
A EBITDA margin is a way for companies to measure their profitability. This margin is equal to their earnings before interest, depreciation, tax, and amortization divided by the total revenue of the company. It is important to note that an EBITDA margin doesn't take into amortization and depreciation and therefore an investor who is interested in the company is able have a cleaner view of the main profits of the company (profits that are not influenced by depreciation and amortization). Essentially, the higher a EBITDA margin is, the less operating costs the company must pay, and therefore more overall profitability in its operation.
No. EBITDA is a measure to simulate operating cash flow. If you have no earnings or profits you will not pay Income Taxes, but you are still required to pay payroll taxes and other taxes such as property and franchise taxes
