What the debt-to-assets ratio means

Calculation and source
How debt-to-assets is calculated
TickerStat calculates debt-to-assets as total interest-bearing debt divided by total assets at the same reporting-period end. Periods with missing debt or non-positive assets are omitted. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
