Interest coverage is generally considered to be the most important quantitative test. A level of earnings well in excess of interest requirements is deemed necessary as a form of protection for possible adverse conditions in future years. The greater the coverage, the greater margin of safety.

CONT

On considère généralement la couverture de l'intérêt comme le test quantitatif le plus important. En effet, le niveau des bénéfices doit dépasser de beaucoup celui des intérêts à verser pour pouvoir constituer une protection au cas où la situation financière de la compagnie se détériorerait. Plus la couverture est satisfaisante, plus la marge de sécurité est grande.

DEF

Número de veces que los pagos por intereses fijos que realiza una compañía como servicio de sus préstamos de capital, se exceden por sus utilidades. Esta relación muestra la reducción de utilidades que podría haber antes de que no se pudiera resolver el pago de intereses con los ingresos corrientes y es, por tanto, una guía útil para el potencial inversionista de interés fijo.
