The solvency ratios of ESAB Corp, as indicated by the debt-to-assets ratio, debt-to-capital ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and financial leverage ratio, provide insight into the company's ability to meet its long-term financial obligations.

The debt-to-assets ratio has shown a slight decrease over the last five quarters, moving from 0.32 in Q4 2022 to 0.27 in Q4 2023. This indicates that ESAB Corp has been successful in reducing its reliance on debt to finance its assets during this period.

Similarly, the debt-to-capital ratio and debt-to-equity ratio have also exhibited a decreasing trend over the quarters, reflecting a decreasing burden of debt on the company's capital structure. The debt-to-capital ratio decreased from 0.47 in Q4 2022 to 0.39 in Q4 2023, while the debt-to-equity ratio decreased from 0.90 to 0.63 during the same period. These reductions suggest a strengthening financial position for ESAB Corp in terms of capital structure and debt levels.

Furthermore, the financial leverage ratio, which measures the extent of financial leverage used by the company, has also decreased from 2.78 in Q4 2022 to 2.38 in Q4 2023. A declining trend in this ratio indicates that ESAB Corp has become less reliant on debt financing compared to its equity, which could potentially reduce financial risk and enhance its solvency.

Overall, the decreasing trend in these solvency ratios reflects a positive financial position for ESAB Corp in terms of managing its long-term debt obligations and capital structure, indicating improved solvency and financial stability for the company.

Coverage ratios

I'm sorry, but without the specific data for interest expenses and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), I am unable to calculate the interest coverage ratio for ESAB Corp. Interest coverage ratio is a key financial metric used to evaluate a company's ability to pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. It is calculated by dividing EBIT by the interest expenses. Without this information for the periods mentioned in the table, a detailed analysis of ESAB Corp's interest coverage is not possible.
