What advantage does fixed charge coverage ratio offer using times interest earned?

This is a very open ended question that implies one does not understand the purpose of the ratio and I see no advantage to any ratio over another. A ratio simply measures the variables inputted. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ("FCCR") reflects the amount of cash (or EBITDA) left after paying for unfinanced capital expenditures, dividends (or distributions) and cash paid taxes then divided by the "fix charges" or the sum of the past period's cash interest and required payments on long term debt or also know as the current portion long term debt ("CPLTD"). In my opinion to answer the question; the advantage of this ratio over the use of an Uniform Cash Flow Analysis ("UCA") Debt Service Coverage ("DSC") is simply the starting point of EBITDA vs. net income. EBITDA is more commonly used in larger credit facilities as a component of ratios or covenants measurement. Also a very similar ratio is Free Cash Flow ("FCF") divided by Total Debt Service ("TDS") or FCF/TDS.
