1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest Coverage (current year). The higher, the better.

Note: If both Interest Expense and Interest Income are empty, while Net Interest Income is negative, then use Net Interest Income as Interest Expense.

Interest Coverage is a ratio that determines how easily a company can pay interest expenses on outstanding debt. It is calculated by dividing a company's Operating Income (EBIT) by its Interest Expense:

The Lottery's Interest Expense for the months ended in Dec. 2023 was A$-67 Mil. Its Operating Income for the months ended in Dec. 2023 was A$346 Mil. And its Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2023 was A$2,618 Mil.

The Lottery's Interest Coverage for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2023 is

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Dec. 2023 )/Interest Expense (Q: Dec. 2023 )
=-1*346.1/-66.8
=5.18

The higher the ratio, the stronger the company's financial strength is.

Warning Sign:

Ben Graham prefers companies' interest coverage to be at least 5. The Lottery Corp Ltd interest coverage is 4.56, which is low.

2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better.

=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
=(11.9 + 2618.2) / 3773
=0.70
