Explanation of Financial Leverage Index:

The Financial Leverage Index measures how well a company is using its debt.  The Financial Leverage Index compares two other financial performance ratios: Return on Equity and a modified version of Return on Assets - mainly adding in the affects of Interest Expense and the Tax Rate. 

Importance of Financial Leverage Index:

If the Financial Leverage Index is greater than 1, then means the company is using its debt in a positive way.  Its Return on Equity is larger than its Return on Assets.  This ratio will be able to tell you that as borrowing increases for a company, to determine if the debt the company took on was beneficial or detrimental to the company.
