EBIT Ratio Sample Clauses
The EBIT Ratio clause defines how a company's Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) is measured relative to another financial metric, such as revenue or debt, within a contract. Typically, this clause outlines the calculation method for the ratio, specifies the relevant accounting periods, and may set minimum or maximum thresholds that must be maintained. For example, a loan agreement might require the borrower to maintain an EBIT to interest expense ratio above a certain level to ensure financial stability. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear financial benchmark that helps assess the company's profitability and ability to meet its obligations, thereby managing risk for the parties involved.

In the case of the Borrower, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, permit the ratio of (a) Earnings before Interest and Taxes for the period of 12 consecutive months prior to such day to (b) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period of 12 consecutive months to be less than the greater of (i) 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) any more restrictive ratio that corresponds to the percentage set forth in Section 8.8 (or any analogous provision) of the Note Purchase Agreement (it being under stood that, for example, 3.00 to 1.00 corresponds to 300%).

EBIT Ratio. For the Issuer or CAI and its Subsidiaries (as the case may be) as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) either (x) in the case of the Issuer, aggregate EBIT or (y) in the case of CAI, Consolidated EBIT to (b) either (x) in the case of the Issuer, aggregate Interest Expense or (y) in the case of CAI, Consolidated Total Interest Expense, in each case for the most recently concluded six (6) fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. With respect to the calculation of the EBIT Ratio for the Issuer, the following rules shall apply: (1) If less than six (6) fiscal quarters have elapsed since October 1, 2012, the EBIT Ratio shall be calculated for the actual number of fiscal quarters that have elapsed since October 1, 2012; and (2) the partial fiscal quarter commencing the Closing Date and ending December 31, 2012 shall be considered a full fiscal quarter for purposes of determining EBIT Ratio. For purposes of calculating the EBIT Ratio for the Issuer for such partial fiscal quarter, aggregate EBIT and aggregate Interest Expense shall each be expanded to reflect earnings and interest expense as if for a full fiscal quarter by: (i) dividing (y) aggregate EBIT and aggregate Interest Expense (as the case may be) for such period for the Issuer, by (z) the number of days in such period; and (ii) multiplying the resulting quotient by the number of days in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012.
