Adjusted EBITDA Business Honesty

Text on the meme

We're profitable Be honest I am being honest Does your business make actual money? It's Adjusted EBITDA Thank you

What it means

A woman confidently claims that the business is profitable, but a skeptical man asks whether it makes actual money. She answers with the evasive accounting phrase “Adjusted EBITDA,” and he politely accepts the technically truthful but misleading explanation. The meme is used to mock businesses that present flattering financial metrics instead of real profits.
