EBITDA margin measures how much of EBITDA is generated as a percentage of sales. It measures the company’s operating profit as a percentage of its revenue and is calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) divided by total revenue.

EBITDA margin also helps with judging the effectiveness of cost-cutting processes at the company. The higher the company’s EBITDA margin, the lower operating expenses are in respect to revenue. As a result, a higher EBITDA margin is considered more favorable. Smaller companies can have higher EBITDA margins since they are able to operate more efficiently and maximize their profitability.
