Earnings Before Taxes (EBT) measures a company's profitability, calculated as sales revenues minus cost of sales, operating expenses, and interest expenses, before taxes have been deducted.
Pretax earnings, also known as pretax profit or profit before tax (PBT), refer to a company's earnings before any federal or state income taxes have been deducted. It is a key measure of a company's financial performance and highlights the profit generated from its operations excluding tax-related expenses.
