A company can improve its return on equity in a number of ways, but here are the five most common. 1. Use more financial leverage. Companies can finance themselves with debt and equity capital. By increasing the amount of debt capital relative to its equity capital, a company can increase its return on equity. We'll use a (fictional) lemonade stand as an example for how the use of debt can increase a company's return on equity.
The debt-to-equity ratio is a very simply calculation. Just divide a company's outstanding debt at a given date (usually quarter-end or year-end) by the company's equity on that same date. So, to increase this ratio, you would need to either increase the debt balance (i.e. borrow more) or decrease the equity balance (i.e. pay a dividend). Keep in mind, while increasing the debt-to-equity ratio will increase the ROE (return on equity) for a company, it also increases risk.
