Another way to use EBITDA is to compare it with other companies in the industry. When comparing companies, you want to ensure you are compare apples to apples and this data point allows you to do so. When looking at EBITDA, remember it is non-GAAP and it allows for discretion in what is used to formulate the total. When you look at the EBITDA, you want to ensure it is not too far off from the past years as that could indicate something is wrong with the company or good, if it skews to far one way.


How important is ShiftPixy's Liquidity

ShiftPixy financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance ShiftPixy ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. ShiftPixy financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to ShiftPixy's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of ShiftPixy's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets). Please check the breakdown between ShiftPixy's total debt and its cash.
