  -> Tack Tore
disagree  Peter Linton (X): A minor point, but important - in English "depreciation" is uncountable and therefore always in the singular. Google has a few refs to "result after depreciations", but almost all from non-English sites. Should be "result(s) after depreciation."

Sorry, that\'s not EBIT. EBIT is before (earnings before interest and taxes).

agree  Roald Toskedal: Not totally convinced about 'result'... I'd rather use 'Profit/Loss'

agree  KirstyMacC (X): Agree with Roald. Earnings after dep. if def. a plus.

agree  Catherine Brix: Agree with Roald - operating profit or operating loss - particularly for Br. English. Have a feeling "income" is preferred in the U.S.
