1 US$ in thousands
- Long-term debt, including current portion
- The long-term debt remained stable at $50,000 thousand in the early periods, increasing sharply to $150,000 thousand from the fiscal year 2007 through 2014. A significant rise occurred in 2015, with debt escalating to approximately $398,000 thousand and maintaining at a similar level through 2019. In 2020 and 2021, a notable and substantial increase is observed, with debt reaching above $2.5 billion, indicating a major accumulation of long-term liabilities in these two years.
- Stockholders' equity
- Stockholders’ equity exhibited consistent growth throughout the entire period. Starting at roughly $765 million in 2005, it increased steadily each year, more than quadrupling to over $4 billion by 2022. This upward trend suggests a continuous reinvestment or accumulation of retained earnings and possibly growth in share capital.
- Debt to equity ratio
- The debt to equity ratio held relatively low and stable values from 2005 to 2014, fluctuating between 0.06 and 0.17, implying a conservative leverage position. From 2015 onwards, the ratio slightly decreased to a range between 0.09 and 0.13 until 2019, indicating stable leverage relative to equity growth. However, a marked increase occurred in 2020 and 2021, with ratios jumping dramatically to 0.76 and 0.6 respectively. This jump corresponds with the significant increase in long-term debt and suggests a major shift towards higher financial leverage during these years, potentially increasing financial risk.
