Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories's Interest Expense for the months ended in Mar. 2026 was $-0.6 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Mar. 2026 was $10.2 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2026 was $136.1 Mil.

Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2026 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Mar. 2026 )/Interest Expense (Q: Mar. 2026 )
=-1*10.247/-0.558
=18.36

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

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

Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Mar. 2026 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Mar. 2026 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(123.958 + 136.052) / 285.58
=0.91
