PI 400 -- Commercial Printing - Cutting Down Times

Thrive and Survive
In good times and bad, there are companies that find ways to thrive while others merely survive or don't make it, Rosen notes. One technique for successful company management is to think in terms of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), he advises. "Printers probably need an EBITDA in the 12 percent range just to stay in business and 15 percent or higher to be solid performers that will be around in 2005."
