I'm sorry, but without specific data for Encompass Health Corp's interest coverage ratios for each quarter provided in the table, I am unable to conduct a detailed analysis. To perform an analysis of interest coverage, we would need the company's operating income (or EBIT) and interest expense figures for each quarter to calculate the interest coverage ratio. This ratio is essential in evaluating a company's ability to meet interest payments on its debt obligations. If you can provide the necessary data, I would be happy to help with the analysis.
