The debt profile of the organization exhibited a period of relative stability followed by significant volatility and a subsequent overall reduction in total carrying amounts between February 2017 and February 2022.

Long-Term Debt Trends
Long-term debt remained remarkably consistent from February 2017 through February 2020, hovering around the 1.49 billion USD mark. However, a substantial reduction occurred by February 2021, where the balance dropped to 1.19 billion USD. This downward trajectory continued slightly into February 2022, ending at 1.18 billion USD.
Finance Lease Liabilities
Noncurrent finance lease liabilities showed a sharp spike in February 2020, rising to 102.4 million USD from previous levels that did not exceed 5.1 million USD. By February 2022, these liabilities decreased to 35.4 million USD. Current finance lease liabilities were only reported in February 2020 and February 2022, totaling 1.5 million USD and 2.5 million USD, respectively.
Total Carrying Amount Analysis
The total long-term debt and finance lease liabilities peaked in February 2020 at 1.59 billion USD, driven primarily by the surge in finance lease obligations. A significant contraction is observed in February 2021, with the total carrying amount falling to 1.19 billion USD. The final period ending February 2022 shows a slight increase to 1.22 billion USD, indicating a stabilization at a lower debt level than observed in the 2017-2020 period.
