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

Saipem SpA's Interest Expense for the months ended in Jun. 2026 was €-25 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Jun. 2026 was €79 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2026 was €1,963 Mil.

Saipem SpA's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2026 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Jun. 2026 )/Interest Expense (Q: Jun. 2026 )
=-1*79/-25
=3.16

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

2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better.

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Jun. 2026 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(1020 + 1963) / 15292
=0.20
