- Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
- The current portion of long-term debt shows a notable fluctuation over the reported periods. Initially, it decreased sharply from 2,787 million USD in 2019 to 827 million USD in 2020, followed by a further drop to 290 million USD in 2021. After that, it increased to 440 million USD in 2022 and then rose significantly to 1,608 million USD in 2023. The latest figure in 2024 shows a moderate decrease to 1,271 million USD. Overall, despite volatility, the current portion increased markedly from 2021 onwards, suggesting a shift in debt repayment structure or upcoming maturities.
- Long-Term Debt, Excluding Current Portion
- The long-term debt, excluding the current portion, increased substantially from 30,011 million USD in 2019 to 40,235 million USD in 2020. It then slightly decreased to 39,440 million USD in 2021 and continued a gradual decline to 39,075 million USD in 2022, followed by a further decrease to 37,621 million USD in 2023. However, there was a significant jump in 2024 to 66,295 million USD, representing a considerable increase compared to all previous periods. This sharp rise indicates a recent large-scale debt issuance or reclassification.
- Total Debt (Carrying Amount)
- Total debt, comprising the sum of current and long-term portions, mirrored the trends observed in its components. It rose from 32,798 million USD in 2019 to 41,062 million USD in 2020, then decreased slightly in subsequent years, reaching 39,229 million USD in 2023. Nevertheless, there is a pronounced increase in total debt in 2024, reaching 67,566 million USD. This reflects the significant growth in the long-term debt component and an elevated current portion, possibly indicating increased leverage or a response to strategic financing needs.
