Big Lou Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The only possible reason I can think of is to calculate the efficiency of a company in terms of revenue compared to direct cost of goods and services sold. But I don't know why you'd call it EBITDASM. Most people just call it gross margin - and even then it would be inaccurate (EBITDASGA would be better). EBITDASM is Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation Amortization Sales and Marketing It is the best to use when you are afraid of something like the economy not responding to your Sales and Marketing efforts. Believe me every company should use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The only possible reason I can think of is to calculate the efficiency of a company in terms of revenue compared to direct cost of goods and services sold. They already have that. It's called Gross Margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I guess it depends on if you're into S&M. Spaniards and Mexicans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an age-old pissing contest between engineers & sales people. Useless metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 That's nothing. You computer boys pat yourself, but you are merely useful techncians who work for the scientists. Try this: This is called ENAPTIN, a protein in short - Formula C44189H71252N12428O14007S321... A.k.a., WTF????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Uh, yeah, I said that. Well I suppose you did, but I can't be expected to read your entire post when I'm busy calculating EBITDASMGAEBTKS all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
