HI Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Hillenbrand, Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 5.4x, which is highly leveraged (75% above the sector average of 3.1x). Net debt stands at $1.4B ($1.6B total debt minus $165M cash). Interest coverage of just 1.7x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.

HI Liquidity & Efficiency
Short-term solvency ratios and asset-utilisation metrics
A current ratio of 1.22x means Hillenbrand, Inc. can comfortably meet its short-term obligations, though there is limited excess liquidity. The quick ratio of 0.88x is notably lower than the current ratio, indicating a significant portion of current assets is tied up in inventory.

HI Shareholder Yields
Earnings, FCF, buyback, and dividend yields — total returns to shareholders
Hillenbrand, Inc. returns 2.8% to shareholders annually primarily through dividends. The payout ratio exceeds 100% at 147.1%, meaning the company is paying out more than it earns — this level is unsustainable long-term without earnings recovery. The earnings yield of 1.9% (inverse of P/E) provides a useful comparison to bond yields when assessing the stock's relative attractiveness to fixed income.
