1 US$ in thousands
- Total Debt
- The total debt exhibited a general upward trend from 2005 through 2017, increasing from approximately 473 million US dollars to over 3.1 billion US dollars. This rise was particularly notable between 2015 and 2017. After reaching this peak, total debt declined and stabilized around 2.4 to 2.8 billion US dollars from 2018 through 2024, indicating a period of debt reduction or consolidation in recent years.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity showed consistent growth throughout the entire period. Starting at approximately 2.1 billion US dollars in 2005, it increased steadily, with some fluctuations, reaching around 4.3 billion US dollars by 2024. The most significant gains appeared after 2015, with equity nearly doubling from about 1.8 billion to over 4.3 billion US dollars over the nine-year span, suggesting strong capital retention or reinvestment strategies.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio fluctuated over the years but demonstrated an overall pattern of increase followed by decline. Early values were low, around 0.22 to 0.42 between 2005 and 2008, indicating relatively conservative leverage. The ratio peaked sharply around 1.36 in 2017, synchronized with the peak in total debt, indicating significantly higher leverage at that time. Subsequently, the ratio decreased steadily to 0.57 by 2024, reflecting a reduction in leverage and a stronger equity position relative to debt in the more recent years.
- Summary of Financial Position Trends
- The data reflect a phase of aggressive debt acquisition leading up to 2017, accompanied by strong equity growth. The subsequent period shows a corrective reduction in debt levels and a consistent strengthening of equity, resulting in improved financial stability as indicated by the declining debt to equity ratio. This trend suggests enhanced balance sheet management focused on reducing financial risk and increasing shareholder value in the later years.
