- Debt to Equity
- Debt to equity ratio shows a generally declining trend over the period from June 2020 to September 2024, decreasing from 0.61 to 0.28. However, there are fluctuations toward the end, with the ratio rising again to 0.59 by March 2025. This suggests a progressive reduction in reliance on debt financing relative to shareholder equity over most of the period, but with some recent reversal.
- Debt to Equity (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- This ratio follows a similar pattern, starting from 0.69 in June 2020 and steadily declining to 0.37 in September 2024, before rising again to 0.68 by March 2025. Inclusion of operating lease liabilities consistently increases the ratio compared to the standard debt to equity, indicating the material impact of lease obligations on overall leverage.
- Debt to Capital
- The debt to capital ratio shows a downward trend from 0.38 in June 2020 to a low of 0.22 in September 2024, indicating a reduction in debt proportion relative to the company’s total capital structure. The ratio slightly increases again to 0.37 by March 2025, mirroring the reversal observed in the debt to equity ratios.
- Debt to Capital (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- When including operating leases, the debt to capital ratio is higher but declines consistently from 0.41 in June 2020 to 0.27 in September 2024, then rises modestly to 0.40 by March 2025. This confirms the similar trend of decreasing leverage followed by a recent uptick.
- Debt to Assets
- This ratio decreases steadily from 0.31 in June 2020 to 0.16 in September 2024, reflecting a reduction in debt compared to total assets. Again, a rise is seen toward March 2025, increasing to 0.28, indicating greater leverage relative to assets in the latest period.
- Debt to Assets (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The adjusted ratio including leases follows the same downtrend from 0.35 down to 0.21 by September 2024, then increases to 0.32 by March 2025. The inclusion of leases consistently inflates the leverage ratios, but trends remain consistent.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage rose sharply from 1.33 in March 2020 to a peak of 2.32 in March 2021, then gradually decreased to around 1.76 by September 2024 before increasing again to 2.13 in March 2025. This pattern indicates increased use of debt or other liabilities relative to equity during 2020–21, followed by deleveraging and a recent partial reversal.
- Interest Coverage
- Interest coverage ratio exhibits high volatility. It was negative or very low during 2020 and 2021, indicating insufficient earnings to cover interest expenses. Beginning in March 2022, it improved dramatically, reaching very high positive levels above 37 by December 2024, suggesting strong earnings relative to interest obligations. A decline to 22.9 by March 2025 still reflects robust coverage, indicating improved profitability and reduced financial risk.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals distinct trends across total debt, stockholders’ equity, and the debt to equity ratio over the observed periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt initially increased steadily from 559,621 thousand US dollars in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, to 744,858 thousand US dollars in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. There is a notable and abrupt increase in total debt to 1,613,305 thousand US dollars in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which further increments slightly to 1,615,094 thousand US dollars by June 30, 2025. This sudden rise marks a significant deviation from the prior gradual upward trend.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrates consistent growth across all quarters, increasing from 802,895 thousand US dollars in March 31, 2020, to 2,916,674 thousand US dollars by March 31, 2025. The growth appears steady and uninterrupted, with an accelerating pace in later quarters, especially from mid-2022 onwards, indicating strengthening equity capital over time.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibits a fluctuating but generally declining trend from June 30, 2020, when it stood at 0.61, to a low of 0.28 in September 30, 2024. This decline reflects a relatively faster growth rate of equity compared to debt in this period. However, the ratio shows an uptick to 0.59 and 0.55 in the first two quarters of 2025, aligned with the sharp increase in total debt, signifying a deterioration in the company’s leverage position in early 2025.

1 Q1 2025 Calculation
Debt to equity (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 1,877,296 ÷ 2,916,674 = 0.64
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
Over the analyzed periods, total debt, including operating lease liability, exhibited a general increasing trend with a significant spike observed in the earlier quarters, rising from approximately $59 million to over $600 million by mid-2020. Following this sharp rise, the debt level showed relative stability with minor fluctuations up until the end of 2024, fluctuating mostly between $800 million and $970 million. However, a notable surge occurred in the last two quarters, with debt nearly doubling again to approximately $1.85 billion and $1.88 billion respectively by the end of Q1 2025.
Stockholders’ equity demonstrated a steady and substantial growth throughout the entire time frame. Starting near $803 million, equity increased consistently quarter over quarter without any significant declines, reaching over $2.9 billion by Q1 2025. This steady upward movement indicates robust accumulation of equity capital and retained earnings over time.
The debt to equity ratio, which measures the relative proportion of total debt to shareholders’ equity, initially experienced a substantial increase from 0.07 to around 0.69 between March and June 2020, corresponding to the large increase in total debt during that period. After reaching a peak close to 0.95 in early 2021, the ratio trended downward steadily over the subsequent quarters, suggesting that equity growth outpaced debt growth, leading to improved leverage ratios through 2023 and into early 2024. However, in the final quarters of the data, the ratio increased again to approximately 0.68 and 0.64, reflecting the sharp increase in total debt relative to equity during that time.
In summary, the data reveals an initial phase of heavy leverage increase, followed by a period of equity-driven deleveraging, and concluding with another phase of rising debt levels. The company maintained consistent equity growth, which contributed to moderating the debt burden for most of the period, though the late spike in debt warrants attention regarding its impact on financial risk and capital structure going forward.

1 Q1 2025 Calculation
Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 1,615,094 ÷ 4,531,768 = 0.36
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The data reveals evolving financial leverage trends across the reported quarters. Total debt shows a gradual increase during the initial periods, rising from 559,621 thousand US dollars in June 2020 to 744,858 thousand by September 2024. There is a marked jump in total debt in the last two periods, reaching over 1.6 million thousand US dollars by March 2025, indicating significant additional borrowing or refinancing activities during this timeframe.
Total capital consistently grows throughout the periods presented, starting at 802,895 thousand US dollars in March 2020 and reaching approximately 3.37 million thousand by September 2024. The capital notably surges beyond 4.3 million thousand in March 2025, suggesting increased equity infusion, retained earnings accumulation, or other sources of capital expansion.
The debt-to-capital ratio reflects the relative proportion of debt used in the company's capital structure. Initially, this ratio is around 0.38 in mid-2020 and remains stable for several quarters. Starting in early 2021, the ratio exhibits a declining trend, dropping steadily to 0.22 by September 2024, which implies a gradual reduction in financial leverage relative to overall capital. However, this ratio spikes back to values near 0.37 by March 2025, corresponding to the significant increase in total debt observed in the same period. This reversal indicates a shift towards higher leverage, potentially increasing financial risk.
Overall, the data shows a period of controlled leverage with steady capital growth through most of the timeline, followed by considerable debt accumulation and a corresponding increase in leverage in the final reported quarters. These shifts may signal strategic financing decisions or responses to market conditions affecting the company’s capital structure.

1 Q1 2025 Calculation
Debt to capital (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Total capital (including operating lease liability)
= 1,877,296 ÷ 4,793,970 = 0.39
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt (including Operating Lease Liability)
- The total debt exhibited a sharp increase from approximately 59 million USD in March 2020 to over 627 million USD by June 2020. Following this surge, the debt levels remained relatively stable through 2020 and 2021, fluctuating around 790 to 810 million USD. Slight upward movement occurred through 2022 and 2023, increasing gradually and reaching near 900 million USD by December 2023. The first quarter of 2024 onward shows a pronounced escalation, doubling the debt level to exceed 1.8 billion USD by December 2024 and maintaining that elevated range into March 2025.
- Total Capital (including Operating Lease Liability)
- Total capital also showed strong growth overall. Starting from approximately 862 million USD in March 2020, it nearly doubled by the end of 2020 to over 1.6 billion USD. The upward trend continued steadily through 2021 and 2022, rising from about 1.7 billion USD to over 2.2 billion USD by the end of 2022. From 2023 onward, capital increased at an accelerated pace, reaching approximately 2.9 billion USD by December 2023 and surpassing 4.7 billion USD by March 2025. This indicates consistent capital expansion throughout the period, with particularly rapid growth in the last year.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (including Operating Lease Liability)
- The debt to capital ratio demonstrated an initial sharp increase during early 2020, rising from 0.07 to hovering around 0.40 by mid-2020. Thereafter, this ratio showed a gradual decline from approximately 0.49 in early 2021 to a low near 0.27 by late 2024, indicating improved capital structure and reduced relative leverage over this period. However, an uptick occurred at the very end of the dataset, where the ratio increased back to around 0.39 by March 2025, corresponding with the significant rise in total debt levels at that time.
- Overall Observations
- The data reveals an initial phase of rapid debt accumulation followed by a period of stabilization and slight deleveraging as capital grew steadily. From 2023 onward, both total capital and total debt expanded at a faster pace, with debt increasing disproportionately late in 2024 and early 2025. The debt to capital ratio’s decline through 2024 suggests a strengthening balance sheet initially, but the subsequent rise may indicate renewed leveraging or increased borrowing activities towards the end of the period analyzed. This shift warrants further attention to understand the drivers and implications for financial risk and capital management.

The financial data exhibits notable trends over the analyzed periods, reflecting changes in the company's leverage and asset base.
- Total Debt
- Total debt displays a steady upward trajectory from June 30, 2020, through the end of 2024. Initially, debt levels were approximately 559,621 thousand US dollars and show modest incremental increases each quarter, reaching a significant peak at the end of the first quarter 2025 with values exceeding 1,613,305 thousand US dollars. This rise indicates an increased reliance on borrowed funds over time, with a substantial jump occurring between the end of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.
- Total Assets
- Total assets also grew consistently throughout the period, starting at 1,066,656 thousand US dollars in the first quarter of 2020. There is a continuous growth pattern quarter over quarter, culminating in assets surpassing 6,000,000 thousand US dollars by the first quarter of 2025. This increase demonstrates the company's expanding asset base, likely due to investments, acquisitions, or organic growth.

- The debt to assets ratio exhibits an overall declining trend from June 2020, where it stood around 0.31, gradually decreasing to approximately 0.16 by the fourth quarter of 2024. This reduction indicates an improvement in the company's capital structure, reflecting either a slower growth in debt relative to assets or a strategic reduction in leverage. However, in the first quarter of 2025, there is a notable increase in the ratio to around 0.28 - 0.27, signaling a recent rise in leverage possibly linked to the sharp increase in total debt observed during the same period.
In summary, the company demonstrates significant growth in total assets over the reported quarters, indicating expansion and increased resource base. Debt levels also increased but at a generally slower pace than assets until late 2024, resulting in a declining debt to assets ratio and suggesting strengthened financial stability and lower relative leverage. The sharp rise in debt and the concurrent increase in the debt to assets ratio in early 2025 warrant attention as a potential shift in financial strategy or response to changing business conditions.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt experienced a significant increase from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020, rising sharply from approximately $59 million to over $627 million. Subsequently, the debt levels stabilized with modest increases through December 31, 2023, fluctuating around $800 million to $900 million. A notable rise occurred again starting March 31, 2025, where the total debt surged dramatically to approximately $1.85 billion and continued to increase slightly by March 31, 2025 to around $1.88 billion.
- Total assets
- Total assets showed a steady and consistent upward trend throughout the entire period. From approximately $1.07 billion at the end of Q1 2020, the assets grew quarter-over-quarter, reaching nearly $3.94 billion by December 31, 2023. The growth momentum continued through 2024 and early 2025, culminating in assets valued at about $6.01 billion by March 31, 2025. This represents a solid increase in asset base over the five-year span.
- Debt to assets ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The ratio of debt to assets saw a sharp rise from 0.06 at March 31, 2020 to a peak of 0.41 by March 31, 2021, indicating a rapid increase in leverage early in the period. Following this peak, the leverage ratio steadily declined to 0.21 by December 31, 2024, reflecting an improvement in the company's capital structure with assets growing faster than debt. However, there was a sudden increase again in early 2025 to 0.32 and 0.31 respectively by March 31, 2025, signaling a return toward higher leverage levels relative to asset size.
- Overall trends and insights
- Over the observed period, the company expanded its asset base substantially while managing to reduce its leverage ratio steadily after an initial peak in 2021. The early spike in leverage likely corresponds to an acquisition of debt for expansion or operational needs, followed by gradual deleveraging or asset growth outpacing debt. The sharp increase in both total debt and leverage ratio in 2025 may suggest a new phase of heavy borrowing, potentially for further growth or strategic investments. Monitoring future quarters for asset growth and management of debt levels will be important for assessing financial stability going forward.

The analysis of the financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in asset growth, equity development, and leverage ratios over the reported quarterly periods.
- Total assets
- Total assets have demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025. Beginning at approximately US$1.07 billion, total assets rose steadily to exceed US$6.01 billion by the end of the period, reflecting substantial asset base expansion. This growth appears largely linear with some acceleration in later periods, especially noticeable between December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity also increased steadily over the period, starting at about US$803 million and reaching nearly US$2.92 billion by March 31, 2025. The equity growth trend is generally positive, with consistent quarterly increments. There was a minor dip observed around March 31, 2021, where equity decreased relative to the prior quarter but quickly recovered in subsequent quarters. Overall, equity growth has maintained a robust pace, suggesting strong retained earnings or capital infusions.
- Financial leverage
- Financial leverage showed an initial increasing pattern from a ratio of 1.33 at the beginning of 2020 to a peak of 2.32 by March 31, 2021, indicating a rise in the relative use of debt or liabilities versus equity. From this peak, leverage ratios began a gradual decline over the subsequent quarters, reaching approximately 1.76 by the end of March 31, 2024. Interestingly, leverage then rose again in the final reported quarters, ending near 2.06 at March 31, 2025. These fluctuations imply a dynamic balance between debt and equity financing with an initial shift toward higher leverage, followed by a deleveraging phase, and ending with a moderate increase in leverage.
Overall, the financial data illustrates substantial growth in both assets and equity, accompanied by varying leverage levels that reflect changes in the company’s capital structure strategy over time. The increase in total assets and equity generally indicates strengthening financial health and capacity, while the adjustments in leverage ratios suggest active management of debt levels relative to equity.

The data reveals notable volatility in the Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) for the company from March 2020 to March 2025. Initially, EBIT shows positive values with some fluctuations during 2020, including a significant drop into negative territory in the third and fourth quarters. The negative trend continues through the first half of 2021, with EBIT values mostly negative or close to zero. Starting from the fourth quarter of 2021, EBIT demonstrates a strong turnaround, reaching a peak in December 2021. Following this, EBIT experiences another decline in 2022, with deep negative values evident in the third and fourth quarters of that year. From 2023 onward, the EBIT values recover again, showing marked growth and reaching the highest levels observed in the data during 2024 and early 2025. However, a drop is noted again in the final quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, though EBIT remains positive.
Interest expense exhibits a generally downward trend over the analyzed period. It starts relatively high in early 2020, peaks sharply in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, then steadily declines through 2023. From 2023 to early 2025, interest expense remains comparatively low with minor fluctuations, indicating improved financial management or reduced debt servicing costs.
The interest coverage ratio, which measures the company's ability to meet interest obligations from EBIT, reflects the fluctuations seen in both EBIT and interest expense. In early 2020, the ratio is not reported, but it appears in late 2020 with negative values, highlighting earnings insufficiency to cover interest costs. The ratio slightly improves in early 2021 but remains below one for most of the year, indicating financial stress. From late 2021 onwards, a marked improvement is observed, with the ratio increasing significantly and reaching very high levels in 2024. This suggests a strong capacity to cover interest expenses during this period. Nevertheless, the decreasing trend starting at the end of 2024 indicates some moderation in earnings relative to interest costs at that time.
In summary, the financial trends depict an initially challenging period with low or negative EBIT and high interest expenses in 2020 and early 2021, followed by a recovery beginning late 2021, characterized by rising EBIT and declining interest expenses, culminating in strong interest coverage ratios through 2024. A slight weakening is seen in the most recent quarters, warranting continued attention.
