The company's financial data demonstrates notable trends over the series of quarterly periods analyzed. The debt-related ratios indicate a consistent decline in leverage and indebtedness relative to equity, capital, and assets, while the interest coverage ratio markedly improves, suggesting enhanced capacity to service debt.
- Debt to Equity Ratios
- Both the standard debt to equity ratio and the version including operating lease liabilities show a downward trajectory from the early periods through to the later quarters. Starting around 0.53-0.57, these ratios decreased steadily, reaching levels as low as 0.07-0.09 by the most recent period. This signifies a gradual reduction in reliance on debt financing compared to shareholder equity.
- Debt to Capital Ratios
- A similar declining pattern is observed in the debt to capital ratios. Initially ranging between 0.31-0.36 (including operating leases), these ratios gradually diminished to approximately 0.07-0.08 in the last periods. This denotes an increasing proportion of capital funded through equity or other non-debt sources.
- Debt to Assets Ratios
- These ratios, measuring debt relative to total assets with and without operating lease liabilities, also reveal a steady decrease. From around 0.30-0.33 at the beginning, they fell to roughly 0.05-0.07 by the end of the dataset. The trend indicates improved asset financing stability, with less dependence on debt.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio starts near 1.78 and fluctuates moderately through the periods, peaking near 1.9 before moving down to about 1.36 in the latest quarter. This overall decline aligns with the reductions in debt levels and reflects a careful approach toward managing equity and debt proportions.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio exhibits a significant and consistent upward trend. From an initial high level of 56.66, it dipped somewhat in intermediate periods but then surged dramatically, ultimately exceeding 470 in the last quarter. This robust increase represents strong earnings relative to interest expenses, indicating improved solvency and debt servicing ability.
In summary, the data portrays a company progressively strengthening its balance sheet by reducing leverage and improving its capacity to cover interest obligations. The declines in debt-related ratios coupled with the rise in interest coverage suggest prudent financial management and enhanced financial health over time.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals distinct trends in the company’s capital structure, particularly concerning total debt, shareholders’ equity, and the debt to equity ratio over the examined periods.
- Total Debt
- The total debt remained relatively stable around 6,959 to 6,963 million US dollars during the initial quarters. A significant increase occurred in the period starting May 2021, with debt rising sharply to approximately 11,943 million US dollars, followed by modest fluctuations hovering around 10,900 to 11,000 million in subsequent quarters. From early 2024 onwards, there is a clear trend of decreasing debt levels, declining steadily to around 8,467 million US dollars by the last reported quarter.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity displays a consistent upward trajectory throughout all periods. Starting from approximately 13,099 million US dollars at the start of the dataset, equity grows steadily each quarter, accelerating significantly after mid-2023. This growth culminates in shareholders’ equity reaching nearly 118,897 million US dollars by the final quarter, indicating a strong enhancement in the company’s net asset base.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio shows a clear declining trend over the entire period. Beginning at about 0.53, the ratio decreases gradually, with some minor fluctuations, reflecting the interplay between debt increases and equity growth. After a peak debt increase in mid-2021, the ratio temporarily rises but soon resumes its downward course. By the end of the analyzed quarters, the ratio drops to a notably low level of approximately 0.07, signaling a substantial reduction in leverage and an improvement in the company’s financial stability and capacity to cover obligations through equity.
Overall, the data illustrates that despite some periods of increased borrowing, the company has markedly strengthened its equity position and reduced reliance on debt financing over time. This shift suggests improved solvency and potentially enhanced risk management strategies aimed at maintaining a healthier balance sheet structure.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals notable trends in the company's debt levels, equity base, and leverage over the observed periods. These trends suggest a dynamic capital structure with a marked shift towards stronger equity financing and reduced reliance on debt over time.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt showed relative stability with mild fluctuations in the earlier periods, initially hovering around the 7,500 million US dollar mark from April 2020 through May 2021. This was followed by a significant increase reaching a peak near 12,700 million US dollars by August 2021. Subsequently, debt levels maintained a range mostly between approximately 10,700 million and 11,900 million US dollars. In later periods, debt experienced a gradual decline, falling below the 10,000 million threshold by mid-2024, though a slight uptick is observable near the end of the timeline with levels approaching 10,500 million US dollars.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity demonstrated a consistent and substantial upward trajectory throughout the periods analyzed. Starting from approximately 13,100 million US dollars in April 2020, equity expanded steadily quarter by quarter with minor short-term deviations. The growth accelerated notably from late 2022 onwards, reaching nearly 119,000 million US dollars by the latest reported quarter. This robust increase reflects significant value creation and reinvestment during the timeframe.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to equity ratio indicates a clear decline in financial leverage over the successive quarters. Initially, the ratio was moderately high around 0.57 in early 2020, followed by fluctuations that correlated with movements in debt and equity. From August 2021 onward, a consistent downward trend is observed, with the ratio falling from about 0.6 to as low as 0.09 by the final period. This trend suggests a strategic reduction in debt relative to equity and a stronger equity base supporting the company’s operations.
In summary, the company's capital structure has shifted towards lower leverage, marked by steady increases in shareholders’ equity and controlled total debt levels. The reduction in the debt to equity ratio over the reported periods may indicate a deliberate move to decrease financial risk and strengthen the balance sheet. This pattern could provide greater financial flexibility and resilience in varying market conditions.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Debt Level and Capital Structure
- The total debt exhibited a relatively stable pattern from April 2020 through May 2021, maintaining just below $7 billion. A significant increase occurred in August 2021, where total debt surged to approximately $11.9 billion. After fluctuating slightly around this elevated level through early 2023, debt began a marked decline starting in mid-2023, reaching about $8.5 billion by mid-2024 and maintaining this lower level through late 2025.
- Total capital demonstrated a continuous upward trend throughout the entire period. Starting at roughly $20 billion in early 2020, it steadily increased, with notable acceleration from early 2023 onwards. By late 2025, total capital had reached approximately $127 billion, indicating substantial growth over the five-year span.
- Debt to Capital Ratio Trends
- The debt to capital ratio showed a declining trend across the observed time frame, dropping from 0.35 in early 2020 to 0.07 by late 2025. This decline reflects a decreasing reliance on debt financing relative to the company’s overall capital. The ratio experienced some fluctuations, with a temporary rise around mid-2021 coinciding with the spike in total debt, before resuming a downward trajectory. The most significant reductions were observed after mid-2023, aligning with the decrease in total debt and continued growth in total capital.
- Insights on Financial Strategy
- The patterns suggest a strategic shift toward deleveraging beginning in mid-2023, supported by strong capital growth. The initial increase in total debt during 2021 may have been driven by capital investment or acquisitions, but subsequent reductions in debt levels combined with increasing capital base imply efforts to strengthen the balance sheet and reduce financial risk. The steadily declining debt to capital ratio further underscores improved financial leverage and potentially enhanced creditworthiness over time.

= 10,481 ÷ 129,378 = 0.08

- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- Over the examined periods, total debt shows an initial gradual increase from 7,478 million USD to a peak of approximately 12,659 million USD by August 2021. Following this peak, debt levels exhibit relative stabilization with minor fluctuations, generally maintaining values close to the 11,000 to 12,000 million USD range. From early 2023 onward, a downward trend in total debt becomes apparent, reaching a notable low point around 9,765 million USD in mid-2024 before slightly increasing again toward the later dates, ending near 10,481 million USD.
- Total Capital (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- Total capital consistently increases throughout the entire period under review. Commencing at 20,577 million USD, the capital base grows steadily with small variations in the rate of increase, accelerating notably after early 2023. By the end of the period, total capital expands significantly to over 129,000 million USD. This trend exemplifies substantial growth in the company’s funding base, potentially reflecting increased equity, retained earnings, or long-term financing.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The debt to capital ratio exhibits a clear declining trend over time, indicating a reduction in financial leverage. Initially, the ratio is moderately high at approximately 0.36 in early 2020, followed by a reduction to around 0.29 by May 2021 despite a debt peak. Subsequently, the ratio fluctuates slightly but predominantly moves downwards, dropping from about 0.35 in late 2022 to a low of 0.08 by October 2025. This downward trajectory signals improved capital structure health, with equity or other capital sources growing at a faster pace than debt, strengthening the company’s balance sheet and possibly lowering financial risk.
- Summary of Financial Structure Trends
- The overall financial structure reflects a strategy of capital expansion paired with debt management. While the absolute level of debt slightly fluctuates and eventually decreases from the peak, the substantial growth in total capital far exceeds these changes. Consequently, leverage decreases consistently, suggesting that the company is reducing reliance on debt financing relative to its capital base. This pattern implies enhanced solvency and financial stability over the observed timeframe.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt exhibited relative stability in the initial periods, ranging near US$6.9 billion through early 2021. From May 2021 onward, there was a significant increase to approximately US$11.9 billion, followed by fluctuations around US$10.9 billion until early 2023. Starting from mid-2023, total debt decreased notably, reaching approximately US$8.5 billion by mid-2024 and maintaining a steady level near US$8.5 billion through late 2025.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrated a consistent and strong upward trend throughout the entire period. Beginning at around US$23.3 billion in early 2020, assets grew steadily, accelerating substantially after early 2023. By early 2025, total assets had increased sharply, reaching approximately US$161.1 billion, indicating substantial expansion of the company's asset base over the observed timeframe.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio showed a clear downward trend, starting at 0.30 in early 2020 and decreasing steadily over time. This ratio initially declined moderately until early 2021, then experienced a temporary increase around mid-2021 corresponding with the rise in total debt. However, from early 2022 onward, the ratio continued a pronounced descent, reaching a low of approximately 0.05 by late 2025. This decline suggests improved financial leverage and a strengthened equity position relative to debt.
- Overall Analysis
- The financial data indicates that while total debt temporarily increased around mid-2021, the company has since reduced its debt levels moderately. The robust growth in total assets considerably outpaced changes in debt, resulting in a significant improvement in the debt to assets ratio. This improvement reflects reduced financial risk and stronger balance sheet resilience. The trend suggests prudent asset growth strategies combined with effective debt management practices.

The analysis of the company's quarterly financial data highlights several key trends in its capital structure and asset management over the observed periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt showed an initial moderate increase from approximately 7,478 million USD to a peak near 12,659 million USD between mid-2020 and mid-2021. This rise indicates a significant borrowing phase during that period. Following this peak, total debt remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, ranging mostly between 9,700 million USD and 11,900 million USD. Toward the end of the timeline, the debt level slowly increased again but did not reach previous peak levels, ending near 10,481 million USD.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited strong and consistent growth throughout the entire period observed. Beginning at roughly 23,254 million USD, assets nearly doubled several times, reaching over 161,148 million USD by the end of the timeline. This expansive asset growth suggests substantial investments and capitalization, reflecting the company's ongoing expansion or acquisitions.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to assets ratio experienced a notable decline over time. Starting at approximately 0.32, the ratio decreased steadily as total assets grew faster than total debt. This ratio dropped to below 0.1 in the latest periods, indicating improved leverage and potentially a stronger balance sheet position. The downward trend signals enhanced financial stability, with the company relying less on debt relative to its asset base.
In summary, the company has demonstrated a significant increase in its asset base while managing to reduce its relative debt burden over the quarters. After an initial increase in debt, the leverage ratio has steadily declined, suggesting prudent financial management and an improving risk profile. The overall trend points to expansion financed more by asset growth than increasing liabilities, enhancing the financial strength of the company.

Notably, the pace of growth accelerates in later periods, especially from early 2024 onwards, indicating significant asset accumulation. This expansion suggests a strategic reinforcement of the asset base, likely reflecting investments in operational capacity or acquisitions.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity follows a similarly strong positive trend, increasing steadily from around 13.1 billion US dollars to nearly 119 billion US dollars by the most recent period. The rate of growth in equity appears to accelerate significantly after early 2023, with particularly sharp increases through 2024 and into 2025. This indicates robust retained earnings or new equity issuance contributing to the company's strengthened capital base.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio fluctuates between approximately 1.36 and 1.9, showing some variability but with a general downward tendency over time. Early periods demonstrate ratios mostly above 1.7, peaking near 1.9, while more recent periods, particularly throughout 2024 and 2025, show ratios declining toward 1.36. A declining financial leverage ratio suggests a gradual reduction in reliance on debt relative to equity, implying a more conservative capital structure or improved equity funding.
- Summary Insights
- The data indicate strong growth in both the asset base and equity value, reflecting the company’s expanding scale and possibly enhanced profitability or capital raising activities. The simultaneous gradual reduction in financial leverage points to prudent financial management, balancing growth with a cautious approach to debt. Collectively, these trends suggest an improving financial position with increased solidity and reduced financial risk over the periods observed.

- Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT exhibits a marked overall upward trend throughout the analyzed periods. Starting at 1006 million US dollars, the figure shows some fluctuations initially, with notable dips such as the 663 million in July 2020 and a significant decline to 540 million in July 2022. However, from early 2023 onwards, there is a substantial and consistent increase, reaching a peak of 37,997 million by October 2025. This steady growth in EBIT suggests improving operational profitability and possibly enhanced revenue generation or cost management over time.
- Interest expense
- Interest expense remains relatively stable across the periods, ranging narrowly from 25 million to around 68 million US dollars. Despite minor fluctuations, the interest expense does not show a significant upward or downward trend, staying fairly constant around the 60 million level in later years. The stability of interest expense indicates that borrowing costs or debt levels have not dramatically increased or changed, giving a consistent base for analyzing interest coverage.
- Interest coverage ratio
- The interest coverage ratio shows a significant and consistent increase over time, beginning at 56.66 and progressing steadily to an exceptionally high value of 471.72 by the final period. This ratio's strong rise aligns with the growth in EBIT while interest expense remains steady, indicating a vastly improved capacity of the company to meet interest obligations from its earnings. This trend highlights strengthening financial health and reduced risk related to debt servicing.
- Summary of trends and insights
- The data reflects a company experiencing substantial growth in earnings before interest and taxes, while maintaining stable interest expenses. This combination results in a pronounced improvement in interest coverage, signaling increased financial robustness and a better capacity to service debt. Periodic fluctuations in EBIT appear temporary within an overall strong growth trajectory. The stable interest expense coupled with rapidly growing EBIT leads to enhanced operating leverage and reduced financial risk over the periods analyzed.
