Short-term Debt
The reported short-term debt was $1,998 million as of December 31, 2018. No data was available for subsequent years, which suggests a possible reclassification or change in reporting methodology for this category in following periods.
Current Portion of Long-term Debt
This item was not reported from 2018 to 2020. It appeared in 2021 at $999 million and then decreased to $418 million in 2022. The introduction of this line item in 2021 indicates increased granularity in debt reporting, reflecting maturities due within the next year.
Long-term Debt, Excluding Current Portion
Starting at $4,965 million in 2019, the long-term debt balance almost doubled to $8,939 million in 2020. It then declined to $8,049 million in 2021 before rising again to $10,417 million in 2022. This pattern reflects significant fluctuations in long-term borrowing, with a general upward trend over the analyzed period.
Total Debt (Carrying Amount)
Total debt increased markedly from $1,998 million in 2018 to $4,965 million in 2019, followed by a substantial rise to $8,939 million in 2020. The total debt then slightly increased to $9,048 million in 2021 and further to $10,835 million in 2022. This steady increase indicates an overall growth in the company's debt obligations over the five-year span.
