Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) also known as "debt coverage ratio," (DCR) is supposed to determine whether a company in question generates enough cash from operating activities to make all necessary interest, principal and lease payments. It is calculated as the ratio of cash available for debt servicing (Gross Cash Flow) to the total sum of interest, principal and lease payments.


Which is not completely accurate as it does not take into account the necessity to make Gross Investment into working capital and long-term assets. Therefore, these adjustments need to be made to make DSCR more realistic.
