Class Editori SpA's Interest Expense for the months ended in Mar. 2026 was €-0.81 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Mar. 2026 was €0.53 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2026 was €0.00 Mil.

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Mar. 2026 )/Interest Expense (Q: Mar. 2026 )
=-1*0.534/-0.807
=0.66

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

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Mar. 2026 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(0 + 0) / 72.056
=0.00
