1 US$ in millions


Total Debt
The total debt exhibited significant fluctuations over the analyzed period. Initially stable at 400 million USD in 2005 and 2006, the metric declined to 197 million USD in 2007 and was unreported for 2008 and 2009. From 2010 onward, there was a pronounced upward trend, increasing from 1,248 million USD in 2010 to 20,270 million USD by the end of 2018. This indicates a substantial rise in leverage through debt financing in the latter part of the timeline.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity showed a general upward trend from 636 million USD in 2005 to a peak of 6,921 million USD in 2017. After reaching this peak, equity decreased to 6,161 million USD by the end of 2018. Despite this recent decline, the overall trend suggests growth in the company’s net assets over the majority of the period.
Debt to Equity Ratio
The debt to equity ratio reflects the changes observed in both debt and equity levels. It started relatively low at 0.63 in 2005 and dropped further to 0.07 by 2007, indicating low leverage. There was a gap in reported data for 2008 and 2009. From 2010 onwards, the ratio increased steadily, moving from 0.21 to 3.29 by 2018, signifying a marked increase in financial leverage. This escalation suggests growing reliance on debt compared to equity, with the ratio crossing the threshold of 1.0 by 2014 and continuing to rise sharply afterward.
Overall Analysis
The financial data reveal a strategic shift with increasing reliance on debt financing from 2010 onward, which is corroborated by the rising debt to equity ratio. While stockholders’ equity grew substantially until 2017, the subsequent decline in 2018 coupled with the steep increase in debt raises considerations about potential increased financial risk. The dramatic rise in total debt, particularly between 2013 and 2018, indicates aggressive leverage that may impact future financial stability depending on the company’s ability to service this debt and generate returns.
