Ratio Definition and Interpretation
Name: Interest Coverage
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.
Interpretation:
• In '2023', AVXL's interest coverage was -48.27, indicating the firm's ability to meet its interest obligations. Industry average for Biotechnology: Biological Products (No Diagnostic Substances) in '2023' stood at -2.47.
Overall, AVXL's interest coverage has been volatile but generally stable over the past 1 years.
Formula: Interest Coverage = EBIT / Interest Expense
Good Range: Minimum 3-5 desirable; below 1 is risky.
