Confused about EBITDA calculation

by a searcher from Full Sail University

This is from an offering memorandum provided by the broker. It appears he's calculating EBITDA by adding interest, depreciation and amortization to the 'ordinary income' line. Am I misunderstanding something? By definition, that seems to be very much not the EBITDA.

I think other income should not be considered along with operating income and hence should not form part of EBITDA

Looks right to me, but the devil is in the details.
