The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) is designed to measure a company's ability to service its obligations.
If a borrower has an FCCR of 0.95×, what does this indicate to a lender?
- The company is not generating enough cash flow from operations to cover its mandatory debt service and taxes.
- The company is generating 5% more cash flow than required to meet its fixed obligations.
- The company's EBITDA is sufficient to cover interest but not its principal amortisation.
- The company is highly profitable but has too much cash sitting on its balance sheet.
