Definition: Interest coverage tells you how easily the company can pay interest on its debt using operating profits. It’s like asking: “Can the company comfortably make its loan payments, or is it barely scraping by?” The higher the ratio, the safer. A very low ratio means debt payments may strain the business, especially if profits drop.
