³ 2022 Calculation
Common equity (market value) = Share price × No. shares of common stock outstanding
= 16.34 × 79,845,789

Equity Trends: The common equity, which is equal to total equity, experienced a significant decline from 5,713,251 thousand USD in February 2017 to 833,985 thousand USD in February 2020. After this sharp decrease, equity rebounded to 2,883,014 thousand USD in February 2021 before declining again to 1,304,680 thousand USD in February 2022. This pattern indicates considerable volatility and reduction in shareholder equity over the period, with a slight recovery in the 2021 fiscal year before resuming the downward trend.
Total Equity and Debt: Total equity and debt followed a similar overall trend. It decreased markedly from 7,209,954 thousand USD in February 2017 to its lowest point of 2,426,338 thousand USD in February 2020. There was then a recovery to 4,073,377 thousand USD in February 2021, followed by a decline to 2,522,397 thousand USD in February 2022. This indicates a parallel movement with total equity, reflecting overall financial leverage and capital structure adjustments during the period.
Enterprise Value (EV): Enterprise value declined substantially from 6,721,625 thousand USD in February 2017 to 1,040,356 thousand USD in February 2020. After this low point, EV increased to 2,720,393 thousand USD in February 2021, and then decreased again to 2,082,901 thousand USD in February 2022. This pattern mirrors the volatility seen in equity and total capital, suggesting fluctuations in perceived market value, operational performance, or investor sentiment.
Overall Observations: The data demonstrates a clear downward trend in market valuation and financial leverage through early 2020, likely reflective of operational or market challenges. The temporary recovery observed in 2021 indicates a possible phase of partial stabilization or market correction, but the renewed declines in 2022 point to ongoing financial pressure and diminished investor confidence. The alignment of trends in equity, total capital, and enterprise value underscores a coherent corporate narrative of distress followed by transient recovery, with persistent vulnerabilities by the most recent period analyzed.
