Interest Expense 

Explanation of Times Interest Earned:

The Times Interest Earned compares Operating Profits to the Interest Expense.  What this calculation provides is a way to see how well the company can cover its interest on the debt it has financed.

Importance of Times Interest Earned:

This is a useful calculation to tell if a company is running into financial trouble.  If a company cannot at a minimum pay the interest on its debt, then the company may be headed for serious financial trouble.  The larger the Time Interest Earned, the more capable the company is at paying the interest on its debt.
