On July 29, 2023, and July 31, 2023, the ratio was consistent at 2.30, reflecting a relatively stable leverage position at that time. By July 27, 2024, the leverage ratio increased markedly to 2.74, persisting at this level through July 31, 2024. This rise suggests an increase in the company’s reliance on debt relative to its equity during this period.
