You're correct I did use EBIT instead of EBITDA I guess I'm being dense because I do not see the EBITDA number on the Yahoo Finance pages. However I was able to derive the EBITDA number by using the EBITDA margin available on Silicon Investor * the Total Revenue available on Yahoo Finance page. Is there an easier way to get the EBITDA number?

First, thank you for responding to my posts. Continuing on this thread I looked at one of GRC competitors, [t]IEX[/t] IDEX Corp (Last annual Dec 2007) EBITDA 293.6 PreTaxIncome = 235.2 Int Expense 23.4 Income Before Tax 235.2 Net Income 155.1 Long Term Debt 448.9 Capital Employed = 1989.6 - 199.0 = 1790.6 Stockholder Equity = 1162.7 EPS = 1.89 DPS = .48 PE = 17.47 Return on Capital = Net Income / ( Stockholder Equity + LT Debt ) = 155.1 / ( 1162.7 + 448.9 ) = 0.096 Pretax Inc./Cap. Employed = 235.2 / 1790.6 = .131 Looking at [t]IEX[/t] chart it had a correction after the annual report, but is recovering.
