Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Jun. 2015 )/Interest Expense (Q: Jun. 2015 )
=-1*84.006/-13.221
=6.35

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

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

Con-way's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2015 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Jun. 2015 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
