DEC Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Diversified Energy Company PLC carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.4x, which is very conservative (86% below the sector average of 2.5x). Net debt stands at $207M ($237M total debt minus $30M cash). Interest coverage of just 2.4x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
