5. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA): A measure of overall financial performance and profitability.
6. Cash Flow: The net amount of cash moving in and out of the business, critical for understanding liquidity and solvency.

8. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV or LTV): The total revenue expected from a customer over their entire relationship with the business.
9. Churn Rate: The percentage of customers who stop doing business with the company during a given period, important for subscription-based models.
10. Net Promoter Score (NPS): Measures customer satisfaction and loyalty by asking how likely customers are to recommend the company to others.
11. Sales Growth: The rate at which sales revenue is increasing, showing business expansion and market demand.
12. Market Share: The percentage of total sales in the industry generated by the company, indicating competitive positioning.
13. Employee Productivity: Metrics such as revenue per employee, which assess how effectively the workforce contributes to business success.
14. Return on Investment (ROI): The ratio of net profit to the cost of investment, evaluating the efficiency of investments.
