Coverage ratios

The interest coverage ratio measures a company's ability to meet its interest obligations with its operating income. A higher ratio indicates a stronger ability to cover interest payments.

Certara Inc's interest coverage ratio has fluctuated over the past four years. In 2023, the ratio of 0.27 signifies that the company's operating income was only able to cover 27% of its interest expenses. This is a significant decline from the prior year where the ratio was 1.83, indicating a weaker ability to cover interest obligations.

The ratio of 0.81 in 2021 suggests a slight improvement but still indicates that Certara Inc's operating income was not sufficient to cover its interest payments. The negative ratio of -0.97 in 2020 is concerning as it implies that the company's operating income was insufficient to cover its interest expenses, resulting in a deficit.

Overall, Certara Inc's interest coverage has been inconsistent, with the company experiencing challenges in generating enough operating income to comfortably cover its interest obligations. Investors and creditors may view this trend as a potential risk to the company's financial health and ability to meet its debt obligations.
