Common Equity (Market Value) and Total Equity

The common equity, which is equal to total equity, exhibits a substantial growth trend over the five-year period. Starting from approximately US$921 million at the end of 2019, it experienced a pronounced increase to about US$4.07 billion in 2020, marking more than a fourfold rise.

Subsequent years saw continued growth, though at a moderated pace, reaching roughly US$6.26 billion in 2021, US$6.92 billion in 2022, and culminating in US$9.72 billion by the end of 2023. This steady increase indicates a consistent strengthening of the company’s equity base over the period examined.

Total Equity and Debt

The combined measure of total equity and debt also shows a similar upward trajectory, moving from about US$935 million in 2019 to over US$10.45 billion in 2023.

While the absolute level of total equity and debt is invariably higher than total equity alone, the proportional relationship between these two metrics suggests that equity continues to constitute the dominant portion of the company's capital structure. The increase implies either growth in debt as well or a reflection of rising enterprise scale.

Enterprise Value (EV)

Enterprise value follows a consistent expansion path, rising from roughly US$740 million at the end of 2019 to approximately US$9.46 billion by the close of 2023.

This growth in EV closely parallels the increases in total equity and total equity and debt, indicating an overall escalation in the company’s market capitalization and valuation metrics.

Overall Financial Trends

Across all the key capital structure indicators, the company demonstrates significant growth within the five-year span. The most remarkable increase occurs between 2019 and 2020, signifying a possible major event affecting valuation or capital influx.

Following this, the growth, while still robust, stabilizes into a more moderate and steady ascent. The parallel upward trends in equity, total capital, and enterprise value indicate a strengthening financial position and likely improved market confidence over time.
