Free cash flow is actually a legitimate metric that is important. EBITDA not really, but it’s how companies are valued today by the majority of the investing public, despite its flaws.
Warren Buffett has long been a harsh critic of EBITDA but champions free cash flow to assess companies.

And what do they do to your tax liability?
Well it reduces your tax liability, just like any other expense, except that it is measured different for GAAP vs tax.
GAAP has salvage value and straight line, tax has no salvage value and in my cases, accelerated depreciation.

Bringing too much money board to the OT 
FCF, Operating Income, and Net Revenue are the three metrics that matter to me.

I wish more people understood this simple concept.

EBITDA is garbage, but FCF is a great tool for assessing a company's overall health - it basically says, "after spending everything we HAD to spend and what we WANTED to reinvest into the business (CAPEX), we have X dollars left to spend at our discretion."
When a person has a lot of discretionary income, they're usually in pretty good financial shape. Not really any different for a business.

It’s shocking how effectively the Govt+Media machine can truly distort reality.

Who was he telling this to? The average employee has no idea wtf he's talking about.

I thought the D and A was Divestitures and Acquisitions. Is that not correct?

Stock market is strong and so long as the share price stays stable, overall, no one gives a frick about layoffs
It's kind of like "as long as the car keeps going, who gives a frick if it has gas in it."
Reality will eventually return to the "free market".

I would immediately vote to replace him.
Anyone that writes something like that, and then releases it for public consumption, lacks the foresight and strategic-thinking skills to lead a publicly-held company.
I doubt he's had a single original thought in his life.
As an aside, any numbnuts can improve a P&L by shedding headcount.

Wayfair sucks.
You can literally find any light fixture or piece of furniture on there at Amazon for 1/3 the price and you don't have to put up with Wayfair bullshite return policies if you get a lemon.

What is a fulfillment center?
Posted on 1/21/24 at 8:48 am to FightinTigersDammit
Ever see the giant Amazon warehouses? That’s a fulfillment center. Also known as an FC.
They are large distribution centers(warehouses) placed in strategic parts of the country to position products closer to customers.

I bought a small desk from Wayfair during Covid. The desk was slightly damaged. The return policy was simple, keep it and we will send another one.

For such a strong economy and job market I sure do keep seeing layoff announcements, usually over 10% of selected workforce.
Not surprising... most companies bloated with employees not really doing...

Not every CEO is smart, but this one is excellent as speaking nonsense corporate-speak.
You see so much of this nowadays. Executives are driven by numbers unrelated to the product they are selling. They prefer to talk about financial metrics rather than the underlying accounting and internal trends.
