Intern here, can someone help me with a finance question. thanks!

I am trying to get down from Ebit to pre tax income (EBT).

I am looking at the company’s financials and see that I would have to take out interest in order to get to EBT. However, on their accounts it shows as short term - interest income. Would this count as the interest or does it have to be interest expense only?

Also is there a way to go down from EBIT to EBITDA and then take EBITDA all the way down to pre tax income EBT? wouldn’t you just take out interest and D&A? I saw my manager do this, but he never added back interest to get from EBIT to EBITDA so a little confused
