CemexB de CV's Interest Expense for the months ended in Jun. 2026 was $-65 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Jun. 2026 was $681 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2026 was $1,580 Mil.

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Jun. 2026 )/Interest Expense (Q: Jun. 2026 )
=-1*680.643/-65.163
=10.45

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

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

=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(257.468 + 1580.341) / 18373.664
=0.10
