Leverage Financial Ratios
Debt Ratio
The Debt Ratio is a financial metric that measures the proportion of a company's total liabilities to its total assets. It is an indicator of the financial leverage of a company, providing insights into its capital structure and ability to meet long-term obligations. A higher debt ratio suggests more leverage and potentially higher financial risk, while a lower ratio indicates a more conservative approach with less reliance on debt.
Interest Coverage Ratio
The Interest Coverage Ratio is a financial metric used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on its outstanding debt. It measures a company's ability to meet its interest obligations with its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). A higher ratio indicates a greater ability to cover interest expenses.
