The ratios
| Criterion | Measure | Threshold | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 583% of market capitalization | 30% | threshold exceeded |
| Interest-bearing investments | 156.4% of market capitalization | 30% | threshold exceeded |

Margin to threshold and trend
| Item | Ratio (fiscal year end) | Threshold (AAOIFI, Standard No. 21) | Margin | Change since year end | Estimated ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt | 583% | 30% | −553% | +4.6% | 609.8% |
| Interest-bearing investments | 156.4% | 30% | −126.4% | -21.8% | 122.3% |
Change read from the quarterly financial statements filed with the SEC (form 10-Q ended 06/30/2026, 2 quarters after fiscal year end), with the same reader on both dates. The estimated ratio applies this change to the annual ratio, with market capitalization unchanged: it is an estimate, not a verdict. "On watch" flags a permitted company whose estimated ratio reaches the threshold, or is within 5 points of the threshold and rising. This is neither a forecast nor advice.
The three views
- Median view, our reference : the company is excluded.
- Strictest view : the company is excluded, because it borrows or invests at interest.
- Most lenient view : the company is excluded.
