Coverage ratios

Dec 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 Dec 31, 2020 Dec 31, 2019
Interest coverage 11.88 10.37 -3.91 -0.67 -3.04

The interest coverage ratio measures a company's ability to cover its interest expenses with its operating income. A higher interest coverage ratio indicates a company is more capable of meeting its interest obligations.

Looking at Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc's interest coverage over the past five years, we observe a fluctuating trend. In 2023, the interest coverage ratio improved significantly to 11.88, indicating the company's ability to cover interest expenses improved substantially compared to the previous year. This suggests that Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc's operating income is more than sufficient to cover its interest payments, which is a positive sign for creditors and investors.

In 2022, the interest coverage ratio was 10.37, indicating a relatively strong ability to meet interest obligations. However, in 2021 and 2019, the interest coverage ratios were negative, indicating that Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc's operating income was insufficient to cover its interest expenses during those years. This could raise concerns about the company's financial health and ability to service its debt.

Overall, the recent improvement in Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc's interest coverage ratio is a positive development, indicating better debt-servicing capabilities. However, attention should be paid to the fluctuations in the ratio over the past few years to assess the company's overall financial stability and ability to manage its debt obligations effectively.
