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:

Volvo AB's Interest Expense for the months ended in Sep. 2024 was $-37 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Sep. 2024 was $1,428 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2024 was $15,326 Mil.

Volvo AB's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2024 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Sep. 2024 )/Interest Expense (Q: Sep. 2024 )
=-1*1427.803/-36.66
=38.95

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

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

Volvo AB's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2024 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Sep. 2024 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(9136.768 + 15325.936) / 45743.668
=0.53
