2. The debt-to-capital ratio has also shown a steady increase, reaching 0.43 in 2023. This ratio reveals that 43% of the company's capital structure is comprised of debt, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing.
3. The debt-to-equity ratio has experienced significant fluctuations, with a notable increase in 2023 to 0.77. This ratio suggests that 77% of the company's equity is financed by debt, signaling a relatively high level of financial risk compared to the previous years.
4. The financial leverage ratio has shown a consistent upward trend, increasing to 2.04 in 2023. This implies that for every $1 of equity, Glaukos Corporation has $2.04 of total debt and equity financing, indicating a substantial level of leverage compared to previous years.

Coverage ratios
Dec 31, 2023 | Dec 31, 2022 | Dec 31, 2021 | Dec 31, 2020 | Dec 31, 2019 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Interest coverage | -8.81 | -6.17 | -2.68 | -8.37 | -18.51 |
The interest coverage ratio for Glaukos Corporation has shown a deteriorating trend over the past five years. The ratios have consistently been negative, indicating that the company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) have been insufficient to cover its interest expenses. This suggests a high level of financial risk, as the company may struggle to meet its interest obligations from its operating income. In particular, the significant negative ratios in 2022 and 2023 raise concerns about the company's ability to service its debt obligations. Further investigation into the company's financial management and operational performance is warranted to assess and address the underlying issues contributing to the declining interest coverage.
