In December 2020, the interest coverage ratio stood at 4.36, indicating that Flowserve had sufficient operating income to cover its interest expenses around 4 times. This ratio improved slightly to 4.95 by December 2021, suggesting a better ability to meet interest obligations.
However, in the subsequent years, the interest coverage ratio remained relatively consistent, hovering around 4.34 in both December 2022 and December 2023. This stability suggests that Flowserve's operating income continued to be adequate to cover its interest expenses to a similar extent.
By December 2024, we see a notable increase in the interest coverage ratio to 6.57, reflecting a significant improvement in Flowserve's ability to cover its interest payments with operating income. This improvement could indicate enhanced financial health and reduced financial risk for the company.
