Total debt (carrying amount) experienced an aggressive expansion from December 31, 2018, through December 31, 2022, rising from $42.4 million to $611.6 million. This represents a total increase of approximately 1,337% over the five-year period. While the growth was steady between 2019 and 2021, a significant acceleration occurred in 2022, where total debt more than quadrupled compared to the previous year.

Convertible Notes Analysis
Convertible notes emerged as the primary driver of the company's debt profile. After starting with no balance in 2018, these instruments increased to $84.2 million in 2019 and grew moderately through 2021. A substantial spike was recorded on December 31, 2022, with the carrying amount reaching $545.8 million, accounting for the vast majority of the total debt obligation at that time.
Term Loan Trends
The non-current portion of term loans showed a consistent upward trend, increasing from $39.8 million in 2018 to $63.8 million in 2022. Notably, the current portion of the term loan, which stood at $2.6 million in 2018, was absent in all subsequent reporting periods, suggesting a shift in repayment structures or refinancing activities.
Finance Lease Liabilities
Finance lease obligations were non-existent in the records until 2021. By December 31, 2022, combined short-term and long-term finance lease liabilities totaled approximately $2.0 million, representing a negligible fraction of the overall debt structure compared to the convertible notes and term loans.
