Specifically, the ratio fluctuated slightly, beginning at 1.31 in fiscal year 2021, then decreasing marginally to 1.29 in 2022 and maintaining that level in 2023. In 2024, the ratio experienced a negligible increase to 1.30, before ultimately declining slightly to 1.28 in 2025.

This consistency indicates that the company's use of debt relative to equity remains relatively steady, with only minor variations over the observed timeframe. The ratio's narrow range suggests a conservative or balanced approach to financial leverage, implying that the company employs debt financing prudently without significant escalation or reduction in its leverage position. Overall, the stability in the financial leverage ratio reflects a steady capital structure, potentially supporting predictable risk and return profiles across these fiscal years.
