I'm sorry, but I cannot provide specific analysis on Simulations Plus Inc.'s interest coverage as the data for the relevant financial years is not available. However, based on the single available data point for August 31, 2019, the interest coverage ratio was 140.12. This indicates that the company had a strong ability to cover its interest expenses with its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Without additional data points for comparison, it's difficult to assess the trend over the years. I recommend gathering the complete set of data for thorough analysis.
