The interest coverage ratio for MI Homes Inc. has shown significant fluctuations over the years. In 2022, the interest coverage ratio was 291.47, indicating the company had substantially more operating income available to cover its interest expenses. However, the lack of data for 2021 and 2019 makes it difficult to assess the trend accurately. In 2020, the interest coverage ratio dropped to 48.13, suggesting a lower ability to meet interest obligations from operating income. It is essential for the company to maintain a healthy interest coverage ratio to demonstrate its ability to service its debt obligations and protect against financial risk. Further analysis of the company's financial performance and debt management strategies would provide a better understanding of its overall financial health.
