Interest coverage | 1.82 | 1.49 | 2.22 | 3.11 | 4.33 |
World Kinect Corporation's interest coverage has shown a declining trend over the past five years, decreasing from 4.33 in December 31, 2020, to 1.82 in December 31, 2024. This indicates that the company's ability to cover its interest expenses with its earnings has weakened over this period.

The decreasing trend in World Kinect Corporation's interest coverage may indicate potential financial difficulties, as the company may be struggling to generate sufficient earnings to cover its interest expenses.
