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: Jun. 2019 )/Interest Expense (Q: Jun. 2019 )
=-1*3.631/-27.492
=0.13

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

Estre Ambiental's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2019 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Jun. 2019 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
