First you have Assets up (cash) Liabilities up (debt). You than use your cash to repurchase shares, so the Assets decrease. As Liabilities stay the same, Equity must also decrease. Thus, when you repurchase stock using external debt Liabilities go up and Equity goes down, increasing financial leverage.
