The financial data indicates notable fluctuations in total debt, stockholders' equity, and the debt to equity ratio over the analyzed years.

Total Debt
Total debt figures start from 2009, showing a relatively stable level around 744,000 to 748,000 thousand US dollars from 2009 through 2015. A sharp increase occurs in 2016, with total debt rising to approximately 3,190,416 thousand US dollars, followed by a gradual decline until 2019. From 2020 onward, total debt again surges significantly, peaking at about 6,660,718 thousand US dollars in 2022 before slightly decreasing but remaining above 5,800,000 thousand US dollars through 2024.
Total Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity displays a decreasing trend from 2005 (3,045,257 thousand US dollars) to 2009 (2,184,392 thousand US dollars), followed by a recovery and growth phase peaking around 2014 with 3,669,346 thousand US dollars. A dramatic drop to 421,439 thousand US dollars in 2015 is observed, succeeded by a gradual increase through 2019. In 2020, equity stabilizes above 2,600,000 thousand US dollars, with a decline in 2022 to 1,401,351 thousand US dollars before increasing again reaching 3,368,328 thousand US dollars by 2024.
Debt to Equity Ratio
The debt to equity ratio is generally low and stable between 2009 to 2015, ranging from 0.20 to 0.34, indicating moderate leverage. A substantial spike occurs in 2016, with the ratio climbing to 7.57, reflecting the debt increase and reduced equity that year. Following this, the ratio decreases progressively until 2019, reaching 1.29, suggestive of deleveraging. From 2020 onwards, the ratio fluctuates, rising again significantly in 2022 to 4.75 before decreasing to around 2.0 by 2024, implying increased financial leverage but with some moderation in recent years.

Overall, the company experienced considerable volatility in leverage and equity levels, highlighted by periods of high debt accumulation and equity fluctuation. The large jumps in total debt and corresponding spikes in the debt to equity ratio suggest episodes of significant financing or capital structure shifts, requiring close monitoring of financial risk associated with increased leverage. The fluctuations in equity reinforce this perspective, pointing to variability in retained earnings, capital injections, or other equity-related factors over the years.
