Top Companies by EBITDA — Communication Services

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. TTM EBITDA is the sum across a company's four most recent fiscal quarters. Adding back D&A produces a rough cash-earnings proxy that strips out capital-structure choices and accounting conventions, which is why analysts use it to compare capex-heavy businesses (telecoms, industrials, utilities) against asset-light peers.

EBITDA is not GAAP cash flow — it ignores working-capital changes, taxes paid and capital expenditure. For a stricter measure of operating earnings see operating income; for the bottom line see net income; for what reinvestment costs the business, see capex.
