    The following ranges are a general guide only.
    • Above 2:1 indicates a good interest cover position.
    • Between 1.5 to 2:1 indicates average interest cover.
    • Between 1.0 to 1.5:1 indicates some weakness that may require attention.
    • Below 1 indicates that interest cover is insufficient to cover ongoing finance expenses.
    Ratios should be considered over a period of time (say three years), in order to identify trends in the performance of the business.
    The calculation used to obtain the ratio is:

    Interest Cover Ratio =  

    (Net profit before tax + Finance expenses)/Finance expenses
