This chart shows the historical trend of interest coverage for GBLI compared to its industry average over the recent years.
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 '2021', GBLI's interest coverage was 4.13, indicating the firm's ability to meet its interest obligations. Industry average for Property-Casualty Insurers in '2021' stood at 2.56.
• In '2022', GBLI's interest coverage was 1.66, indicating the firm's ability to meet its interest obligations. The decline from '2021' may indicate some operational or financial challenges. Industry average for Property-Casualty Insurers in '2022' stood at 0.08. Industry average declined by 2.48 from previous year.
Overall, GBLI's interest coverage has been volatile but showed a downward trend over the past 2 years.
Formula: Interest Coverage = EBIT / Interest Expense
Good Range: Minimum 3-5 desirable; below 1 is risky.
