Nope, you’re not dense deeiche ! If you go to my Message #463 you’ll see what I wrote regarding EBITDA Margin and how to calculate it. There's also a link to it in my Board's Header. The "Cost of Revenue" number in Yahoo for the year ending 31-Dec-07 is "238110". Unfortunately this includes a Depreciation amount of "7600", and EBITDA stands for "Earnings BEFORE Interest, Taxation, Depreciation and Amortization". If we subtract 7600 from 238110 we get 230510 as the "Cost of Revenue" (or "Cost of Sales") excluding Depreciation. The sum of GRC’s "Selling, General & Admin." and "Research & Development" comes to 34567. If we add that to 230510 we get 265077. If we then subtract that from the Gross Revenue of 305562 we get the EBITDA of 40485. You may want to try the following site in future for Financial Statement info :- advfn.com The "Historical Annual Reports" and "Historical Quarterly Reports" buttons get you to pages that enable one to get all the Annual and Quarterly Reports issued to date. You get previous Years or Quarters by going to the "Select start date for annual reports" tab just above "BALANCE SHEET (at a glance)". This site clearly differentiates between EBITDA and EBIT.
