The debt-to-capital ratio of G-III Apparel Group Ltd has shown a declining trend over the past five years, indicating that the company has been relying less on debt to finance its operations relative to its total capital structure. As of January 31, 2024, the ratio stands at 0.21, a decrease from 0.26 in the previous year. This suggests that a smaller proportion of the company's capital is derived from debt sources, which can be viewed positively as it indicates lower financial risk and potentially increased solvency. The trend of decreasing debt-to-capital ratio over the years may signal a conservative approach to managing the company's capital structure and debt obligations. It is important to continue monitoring this ratio to assess the company's ongoing capital structure decisions and financial health.
