The analysis of John Wiley & Sons' debt-to-capital ratio over the provided period indicates a consistent value of zero. This suggests that the company's capital structure has been entirely equity-financed, with no significant reliance on debt funding at any point during the specified intervals. The persistent absence of debt, as reflected by the ratio remaining at 0.00, implies a conservative approach to leverage or potentially a strategic choice to operate without debt obligations. Consequently, the company's financial leverage and associated risks are minimal, which could influence its financial flexibility, cost of capital, and capacity to undertake debt-funded growth initiatives.
