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.
