Delta’s current financial mechanic is cash-funded balance-sheet repair, with stronger cash conversion offset by a persistently thin short-term cushion.
Over the last three fiscal years, free cash flow moved from-$3M to$3.8B , meaning operating cash is no longer being almost fully absorbed by reinvestment. That internally funded shift coincided with debt-to-equity falling from 2.9x to 0.6x, so leverage repair came from both repayment and a rebuilt equity base rather than from outside capital.
