The analysis of the financial data reveals several notable trends in the long term debt, shareholders' equity, and debt to equity ratio over the observed period.
- Long Term Debt
- The long term debt figures are only available from the year 2015 onward. From 2015 through 2019, the debt hovered consistently around US$1.49 billion, showing little variation. Starting in 2020, there is a significant reduction in debt to approximately US$1.19 billion, which further decreased to around US$1.18 billion by 2022. This indicates a strategic effort to reduce long term liabilities over the last three years of the data set.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity showed a general increasing trend from 2005 through 2013, rising from approximately US$2.2 billion to a peak of around US$4.08 billion in 2013. However, after 2013, equity sharply declined, falling to about US$2.55 billion by 2016 and continuing to decrease steeply to US$174 million in 2022. This pronounced decline in equity suggests significant financial challenges and erosion of net assets during the latter part of the period.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio data is available only from 2015 onward. Between 2015 and 2019, the ratio remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 0.52 and 0.59, indicating a moderate leverage level. However, beginning in 2020, the ratio sharply increased to 0.84, rose further to 0.93 in 2021, and then surged dramatically to 6.77 in 2022. This steep rise is indicative of a substantial increase in financial leverage, likely due to the collapsing equity base combined with sustained long term debt levels.
In summary, the financial data points to a period of initial strength with growing equity and modest leverage, followed by a steep deterioration in net equity holdings from 2014 onward. The company appears to have maintained stable long term debt levels until recent years, when it began to reduce debt slightly. However, the sharp decline in shareholders’ equity has critically increased reliance on debt financing, as evidenced by the soaring debt to equity ratio by 2022. This pattern suggests increasing financial distress and elevated risk related to capital structure stability.
