Debt-to-capital ratio = Long-term debt ÷ (Long-term debt + Total stockholders’ equity)
= $2,615,000K ÷ ($2,615,000K + $5,166,000K)
= 0.34

Owens Corning's debt-to-capital ratio has displayed relative stability over the past eight quarters, ranging from 0.37 to 0.41. This ratio indicates that, on average, the company finances approximately 37% to 41% of its operations with debt.

The slight decrease in the debt-to-capital ratio from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 may suggest a potential improvement in the company's financial leverage position. However, the ratio has remained relatively consistent since then, signaling that Owens Corning has maintained a balanced mix of debt and equity in its capital structure.

Overall, Owens Corning's debt-to-capital ratio demonstrates a moderate level of leverage, which could imply that the company has a manageable level of debt in relation to its overall capitalization. Investors and stakeholders may find this ratio reassuring as it indicates a prudent approach to managing the company's financial obligations.
