Operating leverage and financial leverage both magnify the changes that occur to earnings due to fixed costs in a companyâs capital structures. Operating leverage magnifies changes in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as a response to changes in sales when a company's operational costs are relatively fixed.he degree of financial leverage (DFL) measures a percentage change of earnings per share for each unitâs change in EBIT that result from a company's changes in its capital structure. Earnings per share become more volatile when the DFL is higher.
