Two Possible Outcomes
Using manufacturing industry benchmarks we analyze your company's public data to identify untapped profits hidden by gaps in your reporting.
The analysis either accurately identifies specific profit leaks that can be plugged to capture hidden EBITDA. OR
The analysis inaccurately represents your operations, indicating that the public view of your company is misleading and must be corrected.
The Real Cost of Blind Spots
Delayed Decisions
Missed market shifts, competitive disadvantage
Decision Anxiety
High-stakes choices based on bad data
Strategic Paralysis
Cannot model "what-if" scenarios
Wrong Signals
Misguided priorities & costly inefficiencies
Blind spots indicate management by educated guesses instead of by informed decisions.
What This Means in Dollars
How much revenue do you need to replace hidden EBITDA?
  • EBITDA margin = 10%
  • Hidden EBITDA uplift = 15%
  • Replacement sales margin = 10%
Two perspectives:
  • You need to increase sales by $7.5M to earn additional $750K EBITDA
  • $7.5M of $50M Revenues does not earn any profit
Capturing hidden EBITDA has the same impact as adding new sales - without additional expense or headcount.
5 Profit Leak Patterns
Profit leaks are not isolated incidents - they're interconnected problems.
Each profit leak drains EBITDA in small increments that never appear as a single line item.
One profit leak can trigger or conceal others, compounding the total impact over time.
Most EBITDA erosion comes not from what's visible, but from what follows - the cascading effects you can't see.
