- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT showed a significant upward trend over the four-year period. Starting at $1,243 million in 2018, it nearly doubled by 2019 to $2,348 million. The figure remained relatively stable in 2020 at $2,357 million and then increased substantially to $3,298 million in 2021. This indicates strong operational performance improvement, particularly in the most recent year measured.
- Interest Expense
- Interest expense rose sharply from $452 million in 2018 to a peak of $654 million in 2019. It then decreased moderately to $604 million in 2020 and further declined to $500 million in 2021. This pattern suggests some fluctuation in debt levels or interest rates, with a general reduction in the burden towards the end of the period.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio, which measures the ability to meet interest obligations from EBIT, showed steady improvement throughout the period. It increased from 2.75 in 2018 to 3.59 in 2019, then to 3.9 in 2020, and reached 6.6 in 2021. The rising ratio reflects enhanced earnings capacity relative to interest expense, indicating a stronger financial position and reduced risk related to debt servicing.

- Earnings before Fixed Charges and Tax
- The earnings before fixed charges and tax exhibited a strong upward trend over the four-year span. Starting at 1,291 million US dollars in 2018, the figure nearly doubled by 2019 to 2,430 million US dollars. This growth continued moderately in 2020 with a slight increase to 2,470 million US dollars, followed by a more pronounced increase in 2021 to 3,419 million US dollars. Overall, this indicates a significant improvement in the company's operating profitability before accounting for fixed costs and taxes.
- Fixed Charges
- The fixed charges showed some fluctuation throughout the period. Beginning at 500 million US dollars in 2018, fixed charges increased substantially in 2019 to 736 million US dollars. The amount then decreased marginally in 2020 to 717 million US dollars and further declined to 621 million US dollars in 2021. Despite the initial rise in 2019, the downward trend in the subsequent years suggests improved management or refinancing of fixed costs.
- Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
- The fixed charge coverage ratio demonstrated a notable improvement, indicating enhanced ability to cover fixed charges through earnings. The ratio rose from 2.58 in 2018 to 3.3 in 2019, followed by a slight increase to 3.44 in 2020. A significant jump occurred in 2021, where the ratio reached 5.51. This progression suggests increasing financial strength and reduced risk regarding coverage of fixed financial obligations over time.
