The financial leverage ratio of CSW Industrials, Inc. has exhibited a declining trend over the period from March 31, 2021, through March 31, 2025. Specifically, the ratio remained constant at 2.12 in both 2021 and 2022, indicating a stable level of financial leverage during these years. However, a subsequent decline is observed, with the ratio decreasing to 1.98 in 2023, further to 1.69 in 2024, and reaching 1.29 by 2025. This downward movement suggests a gradual reduction in the company's reliance on debt financing relative to its equity. Such a trend may reflect strategic efforts to deleverage the balance sheet, possibly in response to market conditions, risk management considerations, or management's preference for a more conservative capital structure. Overall, the diminishing financial leverage ratio indicates an improving financial risk profile, with the company decreasing its leverage over the analyzed period.
