Published by Statista Research Department, Aug 12, 2024
Since the Great Recession, the interest coverage ratio of energy and IT companies has been falling much faster than other industries, with these industries reducing their ratio by 10 and 8.6 percentage points respectively between 2010 and 2017.

The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by their interest payments due.
