It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Pure Cycle 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. Please check the breakdown between Pure Cycle's total debt and its cash.
