1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest Coverage (current year). The higher, the better.

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Dec. 2023 )/Interest Expense (Q: Dec. 2023 )
=-1*37.679/-15.352
=2.45

The higher the ratio, the stronger the company's financial strength is.
