TR.EBITDA vs TR.NormalizedEbitda vs TR.EBITDAActValue

ant1bball

Hello, Im checking for AAPL.O with the python API and i cant understand the difference between these 3 data item codes for EBITDA. They all report pretty much the same number, and the description is pretty much the same too, so what is the difference?

TR.EBITDA and TR.NormalizedEbitda are exactly the same? TR.EBITDAActValue is almost the same, but im guessing this is the reported data by the company? what is the difference with the other two?

Thanks in advance for the help!

You can use a Data Item Browser app to find definitions of these fields. For example:

• TR.EBITDA
  EBITDA is EBIT for the fiscal year plus the same period's Depreciation, Supplemental [VDEP], Amortization of Acquisition Costs, Supplemental [VAMA] and Amortization of Intangibles, Supplemental [VAMI]

• TR.NormalizedEbitda
  Represents the sum of: Operating Income; Interest Expense (Income), Net Operating; Unusual Expense (Income); Loss (Gain) on Sale of Assets & Operating; Depreciation, Supplemental; Amortization of Acquisition Costs, Supplemental and Amortization of Intangibles, Supplemental

• TR.EBITDAActValue
  EBITDA gauges the raw earnings power of a company before debt servicing, corporate taxes, and any allowances made for depreciation and amortization costs the company faces. It is calculated in general form by taking the pre-tax corporate income of a company, adding back any depreciation and amortization costs charged, plus any interest expense on debt (subtracting any capitalized interest)

Although the article mentions to JET API, the same fields can be used with Eikon Data API as well.
