January 31, 2025 calculation
Debt-to-capital ratio = Long-term debt ÷ (Long-term debt + Total stockholders’ equity)
= $—K ÷ ($—K + $1,792,740K)
= 0.00
The data indicates that Korn Ferry's debt-to-capital ratio has remained consistently at zero across multiple reporting periods from April 2020 through October 2025. This persistent absence of leverage suggests that the company has not utilized significant debt financing during this time frame. Consequently, Korn Ferry’s capital structure appears to be entirely equity-financed, reflecting a conservative approach to leverage or possibly a strategic choice to maintain a low-risk profile. The consistent zero ratio also implies that the company’s financial risk related to debt obligations remains minimal, which can be favorable from a creditworthiness perspective but may influence growth strategies that typically rely on debt financing.
