December 31, 2023 calculation

Debt-to-assets ratio = Long-term debt ÷ Total assets
= $4,649,160K ÷ $16,355,400K
= 0.28

Service Corp. International has maintained a consistent debt-to-assets ratio of around 0.29 throughout the last four quarters of 2023, indicating that approximately 29% of the company's assets are financed through debt. This stability suggests that the company has been effectively managing its debt levels relative to its total assets. However, it is worth noting a slight increase in the debt-to-assets ratio from 0.26 in Q1 2022 to 0.29 in Q4 2022, which could indicate a slight uptick in reliance on debt financing. Overall, the company's debt-to-assets ratio remains within a reasonable range, but it would be essential to monitor any future trends in this ratio to ensure sustainable financial health.
