It measures the total debt position of Citrix Systems, including all of Citrix Systems's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of Citrix Systems assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the

How important is Citrix Systems's Liquidity
Citrix Systems
financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Citrix Systems ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Citrix Systems financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Citrix Systems' owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Citrix Systems' financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).
