Debt restructuring is available to companies, individuals and even countries. Debt securities are financial assets that entitle their holders to a stream of interest payments. Debt service refers to the money needed to pay principal and interest on outstanding debt over a specified period of time. The Debt Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is a measure of the cash flow available to pay off current debt obligations. A measure of a company’s financial leverage, calculated by dividing the company’s interest-bearing debt by total equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E) compares a company’s total liabilities to its equity and can be used to assess the extent to which it is dependent on debt. The debt-to-GDP ratio is the ratio of a country’s public debt to its gross domestic product (GDP). The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) measures the amount of income a person or organization generates to service debt. The debt/EBITDA ratio is used by creditors, appraisers and investors to assess the liquidity and financial condition of a company.
