The operating margin, however, is positive at 2.8% — the core business makes money; the loss comes from financing costs, taxes or one-off items.

Can Legence service its debt? Can service its debt, but it weighs on the company — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is 2.0x, and net debt equals 3.5 years of earnings (EBITDA).
