interest coverage


Definition
A calculation of a company's ability to meet its interest payments on outstanding debt. Interest coverage is equal to earnings before interest and taxes for a time period, often one year, divided by interest expenses for the same time period. The lower the interest coverage, the larger the debt burden is on the company.
