WTTR Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
Select Water Solutions, Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.8x, which is manageable (65% below the sector average of 5.1x). Net debt stands at $356M ($374M total debt minus $18M cash). Interest coverage of just 1.5x is concerning — the company has limited headroom to absorb earnings volatility before struggling with debt service.
