Lindsay Corporation's interest coverage ratio has been fluctuating over the past few years, with a general trend of improvement. The interest coverage ratio measures the company's ability to meet its interest obligations with its operating income.
In the most recent period ending August 31, 2024, Lindsay Corporation's interest coverage ratio stood at 24.70, indicating a strong ability to cover its interest expenses. This ratio has generally been above 10 in recent years, which is a positive sign for investors and creditors as it suggests the company is generating sufficient earnings to cover its interest costs.
There was a notable increase in the interest coverage ratio from the end of 2019 to the middle of 2023, where the ratio consistently stayed above 20. This improvement suggests that the company's profitability and/or efficiency in managing its interest expenses improved during this period.
However, it is worth noting that the interest coverage ratio dipped below 10 in some periods, such as in late 2020 and early 2021, which could indicate a potential risk if the company's operating income declines significantly or if interest expenses increase substantially.

Investors and creditors should continue to monitor this ratio to assess the company's ability to manage its debt obligations effectively.
