Total long-term debt carrying amounts exhibited a general upward trajectory between 2018 and 2022, increasing from 14,757 million US$ to 18,047 million US$. Although a slight contraction occurred in 2021, the overall five-year period is characterized by a steady expansion of the total debt burden.

Total Debt Trend
The total carrying amount of long-term debt grew by approximately 22.3% over the analyzed period. Significant increases were observed between 2018 and 2019, and more prominently between 2021 and 2022, where the balance rose by 1,681 million US$ within a single fiscal year.
Current Maturity Analysis
Current maturities of long-term debt showed substantial volatility. Obligations rose from a negligible 18 million US$ in 2018 to a peak of 401 million US$ in 2020, before moderating to 151 million US$ by the end of 2022. This volatility indicates fluctuations in the short-term repayment schedule of the company's debt portfolio.
Debt Structure and Composition
The debt profile is heavily weighted toward long-term obligations. Debt excluding the current portion increased from 14,739 million US$ in 2018 to 17,896 million US$ in 2022. The minimal proportion of current maturities relative to the total long-term debt suggests a financing strategy focused on long-term capital rather than short-term borrowing.
