Group 1 Automotive Inc has consistently maintained a debt-to-capital ratio of 0.00% across all reported periods from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. This indicates that the company has not used debt as a major source of financing and has relied more on equity capital to fund its operations and growth. A debt-to-capital ratio of 0.00% signifies that the company's capital structure is debt-free or that any debt obligations are negligible compared to its total capital. This could imply a lower financial risk for the company as it is not highly leveraged with debt. However, it's also important to consider that a very low debt-to-capital ratio may limit the company's financial flexibility and potential tax advantages associated with debt financing.
