1 US$ in thousands


Total Debt
The data on total debt begins in 2009 and shows a relatively stable amount near 745,000 thousand US dollars from 2009 to 2015, after which there is a sharp increase in 2016 reaching above 3.1 million. This elevated level remains around 3 million through 2018, followed by a notable peak in 2020 exceeding 6.6 million. Thereafter, debt fluctuates but tends to decline, ending at approximately 5.88 million in 2025. Overall, the total debt exhibits a major increase starting 2016, peaking in 2020, with partial reductions in the subsequent years.
Total KLA Stockholders’ Equity
The stockholders’ equity displays an initial slow growth phase between 2005 and 2010, rising from around 3 million to over 3.3 million. However, from 2010 to 2015 there is a significant drop, with equity falling below 700 thousand in 2015. After 2015, equity begins a recovery trend, growing consistently and strongly, reaching more than 4.6 million by 2025. This recovery period suggests improved capital structure or retained earnings after a steep decline in the early 2010s.
Debt to Equity Ratio
Debt to equity ratio data begins in 2009 at 0.25 and gradually rises until 2011, peaking at 0.34 in 2010. By 2012, the ratio dramatically escalates to 7.57, indicating a period of very high leverage likely tied to the surge in debt and simultaneous sharp decrease in equity. This ratio declines steadily through 2016 to 1.38 and continues to fluctuate moderately between 1.25 and 2.02 from 2017 to 2025. The pattern suggests that after a period of significant leverage increase, the company has worked on deleveraging or equity rebuilding, though leverage remains elevated compared to pre-2012 levels.
