What is Interest Coverage Ratio?
——————————————–
The interest coverage ratio helps determine how many times a company’s current earnings (before interest and taxes) can be used to pay interest on its outstanding debt. It can be used to determine a company’s liquidity position by assessing how easily it can pay interest on its outstanding debt.

Formula
——————————————–
Interest Coverage Ratio Formula = EBITDA / Interest Expense

Interpretation
——————————————–
– Higher interest coverage ratio indicates that the company is better able to pay off its debts.
– If interest coverage is less than 1, it means that EBITDA will not be sufficient to pay off the debt, thus, necessitating the search for alternative sources of funding.
– Since capital-intensive companies have higher depreciation and amortization, the interest coverage ratio should be calculated using EBITDA.
