- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio remained relatively stable at around 0.13 to 0.14 from early 2021 through mid-2022. There was a notable increase starting in the third quarter of 2022, reaching a peak of 0.62 by the third quarter of 2024. Following this peak, the ratio gradually decreased but stayed elevated relative to earlier periods, settling near 0.48 by the third quarter of 2025. This suggests an increased reliance on debt financing relative to equity over the observed period, especially in the mid to later quarters.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- Similarly, the debt to capital ratio was stable at approximately 0.11 to 0.12 through mid-2022 before rising sharply to 0.38 by late 2024. After this peak, it declined moderately to approximately 0.32 by the third quarter of 2025. This trend reflects a growing portion of capital structure funded by debt, consistent with the debt to equity ratio trend.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio was consistently low and stable at around 0.08 in the initial periods, increasing to roughly 0.31 in late 2024. It then declined moderately to about 0.26 by the third quarter of 2025. This pattern indicates the company increased its leverage against its total assets but maintained a conservative asset coverage of debt.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage showed a gradual increase from 1.57 in early 2021 to approximately 1.87 in the last quarter of 2022. Afterwards, it slightly declined and fluctuated around the range of 1.6 to 2.0, peaking at 2.01 in the third quarter of 2024 before settling near 1.85 by the third quarter of 2025. This indicates a moderate but controlled use of debt relative to equity.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio demonstrated strong coverage of interest expenses, increasing from 35.68 in early 2021 to a peak of 58.34 in mid-2022. Subsequently, it declined steadily to a low of 13.5 by the third quarter of 2025. While the coverage remains healthy, the downward trend suggests that earnings relative to interest expense weakened significantly over time, possibly reflecting increased debt and/or lower earnings growth.
- Overall Analysis
- The financial data reveals an overall trend of increasing leverage starting mid-2022, evidenced by rising debt ratios and financial leverage measures. This was accompanied by a diminishing interest coverage ratio, implying that debt service capacity was under pressure despite still being at a comfortable level. The company appears to have taken on more debt relative to both equity and assets, especially peaking around late 2024, before slightly reducing leverage in subsequent quarters. The trends suggest strategic borrowing growth with heightened risk factors impacting the ability to cover interest expense as strongly as in prior periods.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 2,479,142 ÷ 5,199,002 = 0.48
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
-
Total debt remained relatively stable at approximately $347 million from April 2021 through July 2022. A marked increase occurred in October 2022, where total debt jumped sharply to around $798 million, more than doubling the previous levels. Following this spike, total debt exhibited some variability but generally stayed elevated, fluctuating between $648 million and nearly $2.8 billion through subsequent quarters, with the peak reached in September 2025. This indicates a significant increase in leverage or financing activities during the latter periods compared to the earlier years.
- Stockholders’ Equity
-
Stockholders’ equity showed a consistent upward trend throughout the entire period. Starting at about $2.54 billion in April 2021, equity increased steadily quarter over quarter, reaching approximately $5.2 billion by September 2025. This steady growth suggests that the company has been accumulating retained earnings or issuing equity consistently, reflecting an expanding equity base and possibly strong profitability or capital influx over time.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
-
The debt to equity ratio maintained a low and stable level around 0.13 to 0.14 through July 2022, indicative of conservative leverage. However, from October 2022 onwards, the ratio rose significantly, reaching as high as 0.62 in June 2024. Although it declined somewhat afterwards, it remained elevated relative to the initial period, ending near 0.48 in September 2025. This transition reflects a strategic shift toward higher leverage, aligned with the substantial increase in total debt recorded from late 2022 onwards. The elevated debt-to-equity ratio could imply increased financial risk or a deliberate move to finance growth or operations through debt instruments.
- Overall Financial Trends
-
Over the examined timeframe, the company’s financial profile reveals a stable and growing equity position coupled with a significant increase in debt starting late 2022. This protracted rise in total debt and debt to equity ratio suggests a period of intensified external financing possibly aimed at expansion, acquisitions, or other capital-intensive initiatives. The concurrent steady increase in equity provides a counterbalance to rising leverage, indicating that while the company embraced higher debt levels, it also continued to build shareholder value. Careful monitoring of the evolving leverage and its impact on financial stability would be prudent given these shifts.

- Total Debt
- The total debt exhibited a relatively stable level from April 2021 through July 2022, maintaining values near 347 million USD. A notable increase occurred starting in October 2022, where debt nearly doubled to approximately 798 million USD and then fluctuated slightly around the 650 to 680 million USD range until the end of 2023. From early 2024 onwards, total debt increased substantially again, reaching over 2.4 billion USD by mid to late 2025, indicating a significant augmentation in leverage over this period.
- Total Capital
- Total capital showed a consistent upward trajectory from approximately 2.9 billion USD in early 2021 to about 4.2 billion USD near the end of 2023. A sharp increase is evident starting in the first half of 2024, with capital rising steeply to roughly 7.6 billion USD by the third quarter of 2025. This suggests substantial growth in the company’s financing base, encompassing both debt and equity components.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio remained relatively low and stable around 0.11 to 0.12 from early 2021 to mid-2022. A sharp increase is observed in the latter half of 2022, where the ratio peaked at 0.23 before gradually declining toward 0.15 by late 2023. Subsequent to this decline, a pronounced rise in leverage took place in 2024, with the ratio escalating to approximately 0.38 in the first half of 2024. Following this peak, the ratio somewhat decreased but remained elevated around 0.32 to 0.35 through mid-2025.
- Summary of Trends
- Overall, the data reflect a period of relative stability in both debt levels and leverage ratios during the initial phases of the timeline, transitioning into a phase of aggressive capital infusion and increased debt usage starting in late 2022 and more dramatically in 2024. The significant rise in total debt and capital, accompanied by elevated debt to capital ratios, indicates a strategic shift towards greater leverage and capital expansion. This pattern might be linked to planned growth initiatives, acquisitions, or other investment activities necessitating increased financing. The moderation of the debt to capital ratio after its 2024 peak suggests some management of leverage, yet the levels remain substantially higher than in prior years, reflecting a fundamentally different capital structure.

The financial data reveals several notable trends regarding the company's debt profile and asset base over the observed periods.
- Total Debt
- The total debt levels remained relatively stable from early 2021 through mid-2022, fluctuating slightly around the 347,000 US$ thousands mark. However, a significant increase occurred starting October 2022 when total debt jumped to approximately 798,000 US$ thousands. After a brief decline by the end of 2022, the debt levels fluctuated around 648,000 US$ thousands through the first half of 2023. From mid-2023 onward, total debt rose sharply again, reaching over 2.8 million US$ thousands by September 2024 before slightly declining but staying elevated above 2.4 million US$ thousands towards the end of the data period in late 2025.
- Total Assets
- Total assets trended upwards throughout the entire timeframe. Starting near 4 million US$ thousands in early 2021, assets grew steadily with some acceleration from late 2023 onward, reaching nearly 9.6 million US$ thousands by September 2025. This indicates a strong asset expansion coinciding with increasing total debt levels in the latter periods.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio was relatively low and stable, hovering around 0.08, from early 2021 through mid-2022. This ratio then experienced a notable increase starting in late 2022, rising to about 0.16 and maintaining a slightly decreasing pattern through early 2023. From mid-2023, there was a marked upward trend where the ratio rose sharply to nearly 0.31 by September 2024, indicating increased leverage. Towards the end of the observed periods, the ratio showed a slight decline but remained elevated around 0.26, suggesting continued higher reliance on debt financing relative to assets compared to earlier years.
Overall, the analysis suggests a significant shift in the company's capital structure beginning in late 2022, with a substantial rise in debt levels and increased leverage through to late 2025. This was accompanied by steady asset growth, but the growth rate of debt outpaced that of assets in the later periods, increasing financial risk as reflected in the rising debt to assets ratio.

- Total Assets
- The total assets generally exhibit an upward trend over the observed periods, increasing from approximately $4.0 billion to nearly $9.6 billion. Initial growth was moderate through 2021 and 2022, but a substantial surge occurred starting in the first quarter of 2024, where assets increased sharply from about $5.7 billion to over $9.1 billion by the third quarter of 2024. Following this peak, they stabilized around $9.5 billion to $9.6 billion through the last reported quarters, indicating substantial asset growth and accumulation.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders' equity shows steady growth throughout the periods, rising from nearly $2.5 billion to over $5.1 billion by the latest reported quarter. The growth in equity is consistent, with moderate increases throughout 2021 and 2022. A notable acceleration can be observed from early 2024 onwards, with equity increasing significantly from about $3.5 billion to more than $4.5 billion by the end of 2024, continuing to rise gradually to just above $5.1 billion thereafter. This indicates strengthening of the company’s net worth, paralleling the asset growth but at a different magnitude.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio fluctuates within a narrow range, indicating changes in the company's capital structure over time. Initially, the ratio hovered around 1.57 to 1.6 in early 2021, then experienced an increase to approximately 1.87 in late 2022, reflecting a rise in relative debt usage compared to equity during that period. Following this peak, leverage decreased to about 1.6 by early 2024, suggesting deleveraging or reinforcement of equity. Subsequently, leverage rose again to a maximum of about 2.01 in late 2024 before slightly declining to around 1.85 towards the latest quarters. This pattern indicates periods of varied reliance on debt financing relative to equity, with a generally moderate leverage level consistent with balanced financial risk management.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several significant trends related to the company's earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), interest expense, and interest coverage ratio over the observed periods.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT demonstrates a general upward trajectory with notable fluctuations. Starting at approximately 207 million USD in April 2021, it experienced slight declines and recoveries through the end of 2021. In 2022, EBIT initially surged, peaking around 314 million USD in the second quarter, followed by a gradual decrease toward the end of the year. The first quarter of 2023 showed a renewed increase, with EBIT reaching values above 330 million USD, and the trend continued with some volatility. The period from late 2023 through 2025 shows significant growth, culminating in a peak nearing 467 million USD at the end of 2024, before experiencing some declines thereafter. Overall, EBIT reflects a pattern of growth interspersed with periodic contractions.
- Interest Expense
- Interest expense remained relatively stable and low during the initial quarters around 4 to 5 million USD but began to rise incrementally in the later quarters of 2022. The increase became more pronounced in 2023 and 2024, where interest expense grew sharply, reaching approximately 29 million USD by the end of 2024 and remaining elevated through 2025. This indicates an increasing cost of debt or greater borrowing during the latter periods.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio, which measures the company's ability to meet its interest obligations from EBIT, exhibited a declining trend over the timeline. Starting at very high levels above 35x in early 2021, the ratio improved further, peaking near 58x in mid-2022. However, from late 2022 onward, the ratio steadily declined, reaching below 14x by mid-2025. This decline is driven by the rising interest expense relative to EBIT growth, suggesting a diminished margin of safety in covering interest payments despite overall earnings growth.
In summary, the company experienced robust EBIT growth with some variability, while interest expenses increased significantly over time. The declining interest coverage ratio signals a reduced cushion for interest expenses relative to earnings, pointing to potential financial risk in the context of higher debt servicing costs. Monitoring of interest expense trends and maintaining EBIT growth will be critical for sustaining financial health going forward.
