1 US$ in thousands


The financial data reveals significant trends in the company's long-term debt and shareholders' equity over the period from 2009 to 2022. Analysis focuses on these key metrics as well as the debt-to-equity ratio where available.

Long-term Debt
This item is only reported for the years 2020 and 2021, with values of approximately 988,400 and 990,400 thousand US dollars, respectively. The long-term debt remained nearly constant over this timeframe.
Total Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
The company's equity experienced substantial growth from 142,452 thousand US dollars in 2009 to a peak of 1,321,900 thousand US dollars in 2019. This represents an overall positive growth trajectory over the decade. However, a decline is observed from 2019 onwards, with equity dropping to 856,000 thousand in 2020 and further to 781,700 thousand in 2021. Notably, in 2022, equity sharply reversed to a deficit of -281,600 thousand US dollars, indicating a significant deterioration in the company's net assets.
Debt to Equity Ratio
This ratio is reported only for 2021, standing at 1.26. Given the equity deficit in 2022, it can be inferred that leverage likely increased substantially beyond this point, although no specific ratio is available for 2022.

Overall, the company demonstrated strong growth in equity through 2019, suggestive of profitable operations or capital raises. The stagnation in long-term debt as of 2020-2021 coupled with a decrease in equity indicates emerging financial stress. The shift to equity deficit in 2022 is a critical signal of financial distress possibly due to accumulated losses or increased liabilities exceeding assets. The relatively high debt-to-equity ratio in 2021 already suggested elevated leverage before the equity turned negative.
