EBITDA Adjustment Clause Samples
An EBITDA Adjustment clause defines how earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) are modified for specific financial calculations in a contract. This clause typically outlines which items—such as non-recurring expenses, extraordinary gains, or certain one-time charges—should be added back or excluded from EBITDA to present a more accurate picture of ongoing profitability. By standardizing these adjustments, the clause ensures that both parties have a clear and consistent basis for measuring financial performance, which is especially important for determining earn-outs, loan covenants, or purchase price calculations.
