    Low earning power means the company is not generating strong profits.

    High interest costs mean a large portion of earnings is being used to pay debt interest.

    These two factors reduce net income, which in turn reduces Return on Equity (ROE).


    ROE = Net Income / Shareholder's Equity

    So when net income is low, ROE becomes low.
