A debt-to-assets ratio of 0.12 suggests that Kohls Corp is utilizing a conservative financial strategy, with a relatively low proportion of its assets being funded by debt.

However, the company should continue to monitor and manage its debt levels effectively to ensure sustainable growth and financial health.
