Interest coverage is a key financial ratio used to assess a company's ability to meet its interest obligations with its operating income. Hillenbrand Inc's interest coverage ratio has shown a fluctuating trend over the past eight quarters, ranging from a low of 3.64 in Q1 2024 to a high of 5.89 in Q4 2022.

The overall trend indicates a general decline in interest coverage ratio over the past year, with the ratio consistently decreasing from Q4 2022 to Q1 2024. This downward trend may raise some concerns about the company's ability to comfortably meet its interest payments using its operating income.

While the interest coverage ratios above 2 are typically considered acceptable, a higher ratio implies a stronger ability to cover interest expenses. Hillenbrand Inc's recent ratios, though showing a decline, have generally remained above 3, indicating that the company has been generating sufficient operating income to cover its interest obligations.

It would be important for investors and stakeholders to monitor this ratio closely in the coming quarters to ensure that Hillenbrand Inc can maintain a healthy level of interest coverage and manage its debt obligations effectively.
