Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Sep. 2024 )/Interest Expense (Q: Sep. 2024 )
=-1*963/-83
=11.60

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: Sep. 2024 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
