Financial Metrics: Focus on Cash Ebitda Financial metrics are often adopted by investors and equity analysts as a surrogate for cash flow to assist them in comparing results on a consistent basis without regard to IRUs and non-cash items effects, such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending on accounting methods or non-operating factors. This is particularly relevant for heavily infrastructure businesses as Retelit
