How do you find ebit?

Ebit is found by looking at your bottom line (i.e. net income) on an income statement, and then adding back the interest expense and income tax expense (if applicable, flow through entities do not pay taxes). The reason for EBIT is to tell the interested party how effective a business is at doing what it is supposed to do by factoring out non-operational expenses. Another variant of EBIT is EBITDA which is even leaner, and additionally factors out depreciation and amortization. (I answered)
