Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Sep. 2019 )/Interest Expense (Q: Sep. 2019 )
=-1*115.676/-25.386
=4.56

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

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

Genesee & Wyoming's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Sep. 2019 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Sep. 2019 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
