Debt-to-assets ratio = Long-term debt ÷ Total assets
= $1,872,400K ÷ $5,238,700K
= 0.36

The debt-to-assets ratio for Hillenbrand Inc has shown some fluctuations over the past few quarters. As of September 30, 2024, the ratio stood at 0.36, indicating that 36% of the company's assets were funded by debt.

Looking at the trend over the past five quarters, the ratio has generally remained within the range of 0.27 to 0.42, with a slight uptrend in recent quarters. A lower ratio suggests lower financial risk as it indicates a lower reliance on debt for funding company assets.

It is worth noting that the ratio peaked at 0.44 in March 2020, signaling a relatively higher level of debt compared to assets at that time. Since then, the company has managed to reduce its debt-to-assets ratio, which may be a positive sign of improved financial health and risk management.

In summary, Hillenbrand Inc's debt-to-assets ratio has exhibited some fluctuations but has shown a decreasing trend overall in recent quarters, which could indicate a more conservative approach to financing and potentially lower financial risk for the company.
