šŸ’° Is EBITDA giving you the full picture—or hiding the financial truth?

In this no-fluff episode of VPOD.ai, we dive deep into the most misunderstood metric in finance: EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization).

šŸ“‰ Often marketed as a cleaner view of profitability, EBITDA is loved by executives and leveraged in M&A deals—but also slammed by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger as potentially deceptive.

šŸŽ§ What you’ll learn:

  • What EBITDA really means and how it’s calculated
  • Why investors and analysts use it—and the hidden dangers behind it
  • Real-world examples of how EBITDA can mislead
  • When it’s useful (like in bank lending or buyouts)
  • Smarter metrics to watch: Free Cash Flow, Net Income, and more
  • How to spot ā€œadjusted earningsā€ red flags in company reports

🧠 Whether you're investing, analyzing a deal, or just trying to decode a balance sheet—this episode arms you with critical financial insight.

šŸ“¢ Sponsored by StoneFly — enterprise-grade storage, backup, disaster recovery, and cloud infrastructure you can trust.
