Such a stable and zero debt-to-capital ratio reflects a conservative capital structure, implying minimal or no leverage. It underscores the company's reliance on internally generated funds or equity issuance rather than debt borrowing, which could denote a focus on maintaining financial flexibility and reducing financial risk.
