This trend indicates that Korn Ferry has been steadily decreasing its financial leverage over the period. The reduction suggests a potential shift toward a less leveraged capital structure, possibly through deleveraging strategies such as paying down debt or increasing equity relative to debt. Overall, the declining leverage ratio reflects an improvement in the company's financial stability and a reduced reliance on debt financing, which could impact its risk profile and capacity for future borrowing.
