If we compare My firms and matching firms (L-T debt to total asset ratio, we can see that, the firm selected by me , My firm has shown steady incere in the debt to total assets from 2018 onwards. Net debt to total assets is a leverage ratio that determines the gross debt to a company's own assets. Using this method, investors will equate the profitability of one business with that of other firms in the same industry. This data may represent a company's financial stability.

If we look at LT debt to equity ratio , we find

Lt debt to equity sharply fell in 2019 for 'My firm"

if we look in 2016 total assets to choose a matching firm

So the chosen my firm has lower D to E and D to Total Asset ratio denoting it is a company with a lower financial leverage which indicates that, even if the company does have debt, its operations and sales are generating enough revenue to grow its assets through profits.

Thanks
