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

Interest Coverage is a ratio that determines how easily a company can pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. It is calculated by dividing a company's Operating Income (EBIT) by its Interest Expense:

Stepchange Holdings's Interest Expense for the months ended in Dec. 2025 was A$-0.00 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Dec. 2025 was A$0.54 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2025 was A$0.00 Mil.

Stepchange Holdings's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2025 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Dec. 2025 )/Interest Expense (Q: Dec. 2025 )
=-1*0.538/-0.002
=269.00

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

=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(0.03 + 0) / 48.726
=0.00

3. Altman Z-Score.
