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

LegalZoom.com's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2023 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Dec. 2023 )/Interest Expense (Q: Dec. 2023 )
=-1*6.854/-0.254
=26.98

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

Good Sign:

=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(2.052 + 6.966) / 634.652
=0.01
