Financial leverage ratio = Total assets ÷ Total stockholders’ equity
= $8,545,000K ÷ $2,655,200K
= 3.22

The financial leverage ratio of Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. demonstrates a relatively stable yet slightly fluctuating trend over the observed period. Starting at 3.36 on September 30, 2020, the ratio shows incremental increases, reaching a high of approximately 4.64 on December 31, 2021. This indicates that during this period, the company's debt levels, relative to its equity base, increased, reflecting heightened leverage.

Subsequently, from the peak at the end of 2021, the ratio displays a gradual decline, moving to 4.58 by March 31, 2022, and further decreasing to approximately 3.67 by June 30, 2023. This downward trend suggests a reduction in leverage, possibly owing to debt repayment, improved equity position, or a combination of both.

In the latter part of the observed period, from September 30, 2023, through June 30, 2025, the ratio maintains a relatively narrow range between approximately 3.22 and 3.87. This indicates a stabilization of the company's leverage position, with no extreme fluctuations, reflecting a balanced capital structure environment.

Overall, Broadridge's financial leverage ratio exhibits periods of increased leverage followed by subsequent deleveraging, aligning with strategic financial management or operational considerations. The current ratios suggest a moderate leverage level consistent with industry standards, with no indication of excessive risk due to leverage. This stable leverage profile could translate to a moderate risk profile, balancing growth financing needs against operational stability.
