Lithium Americas financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Lithium Americas Corp ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Lithium Americas 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 Lithium Americas' 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 Lithium Americas' 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).
