How to improve your EBITDA with AI: The real impact of automating accounts payable

In an increasingly demanding economic environment, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) consolidates itself as one of the key indicators to measure a company's operational efficiency.

Furthermore, it allows you to compare companies more easily, even if they have different financial or fiscal structures. This index is widely used by investors and analysts to evaluate the health and growth potential of a business.

What Does EBITDA Include?

• Total Revenue: Net sales, service revenue, or any other operating income.
• Operating Costs: Costs directly related to the production or provision of services (cost of goods sold, salaries, raw materials, etc.).
• Sales and Administrative Expenses: Expenses not directly related to production, such as marketing, sales, administration, and other indirect costs. (XTRACT).
• Depreciation and Amortization: Costs related to the loss of value of tangible (depreciation) and intangible (amortization) assets.

Why Should You Improve It?

EBITDA reflects the true operational health of your company. The better this index, the more profitable, efficient, and scalable your business is. This allows you to:

• Operate with greater margin and predictability.
• Invest in growth without compromising profitability.
• Convey financial strength to investors, boards, or potential buyers.
• Demonstrate internal efficiency in volatile or inflationary environments.
