1 US$ in millions
- Long-term debt
- Long-term debt has exhibited a steady but marginal increase over the examined period, rising from 1,816 million US dollars at the end of 2020 to 1,995 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This represents a relatively stable debt level with a gradual upward trend.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity has shown significant growth throughout the timeframe. Starting at 2,902 million US dollars in 2020, it increased substantially to 8,412 million US dollars by the end of 2024. This reflects a strong accumulation of equity capital and/or retained earnings over the years, indicating improved net worth.
- Debt to equity ratio
- The debt to equity ratio has declined consistently from 0.63 in 2020 to 0.24 by 2024. This downward trend indicates an improvement in the company’s financial leverage position, with equity growing faster than debt and thereby reducing relative financial risk associated with debt levels.
