Because for the calculation of the debt to to tangible assets ratio ONLY the tangible assets (machinery, buildings and land, and current assets, such as inventory, etc...) are taken into consideration for the calculation VS the debt ratio where ALL of the assets (tangible and intangible such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, goodwill and brand recognition) are taken into consideration for the calculation.

What is adjusted debt to adjusted tangible net worth?

Adjusted debt to adjusted tangible net worth is a financial metric used to assess a company's leverage and financial stability. It compares a company's total adjusted debt, which typically includes liabilities such as loans and leases, to its adjusted tangible net worth, which excludes intangible assets like goodwill and focuses on tangible assets. This ratio helps investors and analysts evaluate the risk associated with a company's capital structure by indicating how much debt is supported by its tangible equity base. A lower ratio suggests a stronger financial position, while a higher ratio may indicate higher risk.
