EBITDA to Interest Expense Ratio Clause Samples
The EBITDA to Interest Expense Ratio clause sets a financial covenant requiring a borrower to maintain a minimum ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to its interest expenses. This ratio is typically calculated on a quarterly or annual basis, using figures from the borrower's financial statements, to ensure the company generates sufficient operating income to cover its debt interest payments. By imposing this requirement, the clause helps lenders monitor the borrower's financial health and reduces the risk of default by ensuring the borrower maintains adequate cash flow to meet its debt obligations.
