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

Note: If both Interest Expense and Interest Income are empty, while Net Interest Income is negative, then use Net Interest Income as Interest Expense.

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:

Barclays Bank's Interest Expense for the months ended in Jun. 2026 was £-7,301.00 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Jun. 2026 was £0.00 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2026 was £106,025.00 Mil.

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