No, it does not. It does not currently even cover their debt SERVICE far less debt payments which aren’t due - in most cases - until the bond tranche reaches maturity.

What did you thing EBIDTA stands for? It is Earnings BEFORE Interest, Depreciation, Taxes, and Amortization.

It’s a ‘profit’ before you have paid your rent/mortgage, upkeep on your equipment, local, state, and federal taxes, and lease costs.

Except you actually DO have to pay those things, which is why earnings per share are negative to the tune of $1.75 a share or so for this quarter. That’s negative $1.75 a share multiplied by 656 million shares since the loss per share (like any future profit per share) has also been affected by the stock dilution from all the sales of shares at low prices during COVID. Otherwise the loss per share would have even been higher.
