Interest Coverage Ratio

Interest coverage ratio measures a company’s ability to meet its interest obligations using operating income. It is calculated by dividing earnings before interest and taxes by interest expense. A higher ratio indicates stronger financial stability, while a lower ratio may signal difficulty in servicing debt and increased financial risk.
