Leverage
| Metric | Value | Percentile | What it measures |

| Debt/Assets | 0.03 | 46th | Calculated as the ratio of Short-Term Debt + Long-Term Debt / Total Assets. The higher the ratio, the higher the degree of leverage, and consequently, financial risk |
| Debt/Equity | 0.62 | 66th | Calculated as the ratio of Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity. The ratio indicates how much debt a company is using to finance its assets relative to the amount of value represented in shareholders’ equity |
| Long Term Debt/Long Term Capital | 0.38 | 49th | Calculated as Long-Term Debt / (Long-Term Debt + Shareholders' Equity). The ratio is an indicator of the company's leverage |

| Metric | Value | Percentile | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
