Equity Commonwealth is a real estate investment trust engaged in the acquisition, ownership, and operation of office buildings located throughout the United States. The vast majority of the company's real estate portfolio comprises office assets. These properties are fairly evenly dispersed between many of America's urban markets, notably Washington, Austin and Denver. Equity Commonwealth derives the vast majority of its income in the form of rental revenue from tenants occupying its offices.

The interest coverage ratio is used to measure how well a firm can pay the interest due on outstanding debt and is is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by its interest expense during a given period. Generally, a higher coverage ratio is better, although the ideal ratio may vary by industry.
