So, what is DCF modeling? It uses a series of factors, including EBITDA (or earnings), in order to arrive at the future value of the investment. In most instances, the DCF valuation method is used when valuing privately held companies; however, in some cases, it's used in publicly held companies that issue stock.
EBITDA isn't normally included on a company's income statement because it isn't a metric recognized by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as a measure of financial performance.
The recommended approach to calculating adjusted EBITDA starts with operating income and then adds back interest, depreciation, and amortization. Additional add-backs to operating expenses should then be accounted for. The adjusted EBITDA for each year should then be totaled, and a multi-year average calculated.
EBITDA is a company's net income but excludes the impact of interest income or expense related to debt instruments, depreciation and amortization, and stated and federal income taxes.
FFO is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization and losses on sales of assets back to net earnings, and then subtracting any gains on sales of assets and any interest income.

For example, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization are added back when calculating both SDE and EBITDA, and many of these adjustments are similar in both methods. The major difference is that SDE includes the owner's compensation, and EBITDA does not include the owner's compensation.
EBITDA does not appear on income statements but can be calculated using income statements. Gross profit does appear on a company's income statement. EBITDA is useful in analysing and comparing profitability. Gross profit is useful in understanding how companies generate profit from the direct costs of producing goods.
