The analysis of the financial ratios over the quarters reveals several noteworthy trends and shifts in the company's financial structure and solvency metrics.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- This ratio demonstrates an overall declining trend from early 2020 through mid-2021, decreasing from 0.85 in March 2020 to a low of 0.56 in June 2021. This suggests a reduction in financial leverage relative to equity during that period. From late 2021 onward, the ratio exhibits some fluctuations, increasing to 0.7 by mid-2023, then slightly declining and stabilizing around the 0.8 level by mid-2025. This pattern indicates a gradual re-leveraging of the company’s capital structure after the initial deleveraging phase.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- A similar pattern is observed with the debt to capital ratio, beginning around 0.46 in early 2020, declining steadily to a trough of approximately 0.34 in mid-2022. This suggests a strategic reduction in the proportion of debt within total capital. Subsequent quarters show a moderate increase, hovering around 0.44 to 0.46 by mid-2025. This highlights a cautious approach toward increasing debt relative to overall capitalization after the period of deleveraging.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio follows a comparable trajectory, decreasing from 0.38 in early 2020 to about 0.29 by mid-2022, indicating a decline in debt on the company’s asset base. Following mid-2022, the ratio climbs again to around 0.40 by mid-2025. This movement reflects an increase in financed liabilities against total assets, coinciding with the trends in debt to equity and capital ratios.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage decreases from 2.23 in March 2020 down to a low near 1.75 in mid-2022, aligning with the reduction in debt ratios. Thereafter, the leverage metric trends upward, reaching approximately 2.13 by mid-2025. The rise in financial leverage corresponds with the moderate increases in debt levels relative to equity and assets, suggesting a return to higher reliance on borrowed funds to support operations or growth.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- Interest coverage data is incomplete for the early periods but from December 2020 onwards, the ratio is notably strong, starting at 32.67 and rising to a peak of 52 by late 2022. This indicates an excellent ability to meet interest obligations during that phase. However, from late 2022 forward, the coverage ratio steadily declines to 11.86 by mid-2025. The decreasing trend may reflect rising interest expenses, declining operating income, or both, indicating increasing pressure on the company's earnings to cover debt servicing costs.
Overall, the company exhibited a period of deleveraging and strengthened solvency between early 2020 and mid-2022, as shown by falling debt-related ratios and very high interest coverage. Post mid-2022, financial metrics suggest a cautious reversal with incremental increases in leverage and debt ratios, accompanied by a significant decline in interest coverage, pointing toward heightened financial risk and potentially increased borrowing costs or earnings volatility in the later periods.

The financial data reveals several key trends in the company's leverage and equity position over the examined periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt showed moderate fluctuations between March 2020 and December 2021, ranging generally between approximately $6.25 billion and $7.74 billion. From early 2022 onwards, total debt displayed a clear upward trajectory, escalating sharply to peak near $14 billion by March 2024. This increase suggests an intensification in the company’s borrowing activities during this timeframe, potentially to finance growth or other corporate strategies. Notably, after March 2024, the total debt appears somewhat volatile but remains at elevated levels, fluctuating between approximately $12.8 billion and $14 billion.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity consistently rose from $7.7 billion in March 2020 to a peak of nearly $17.3 billion by September 2024, indicating a steady strengthening of the company's net asset base over the analyzed period. This growth in equity was gradual and generally uninterrupted, reflecting positive retained earnings or capital injections. There is a slight decline observed toward mid-2025, bringing equity back down to around $16.4 billion, although still considerably higher than the starting point.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio started at 0.85 in March 2020 and declined steadily to a low of 0.51 by mid-2022, suggesting improved financial leverage with reduced relative debt burden compared to equity levels. From mid-2022, the ratio reversed course and climbed progressively, peaking again near 0.86 by June 2025. This pattern aligns with the previously noted increase in total debt, which, despite rising equity, resulted in a higher leverage ratio in recent periods. The trends indicate that while the company has built equity, its borrowing has surged at a faster rate in the latter years, increasing financial leverage risks.
Overall, the data depicts a company that has systematically increased its equity base while simultaneously escalating debt significantly from 2022 onward. The rising debt to equity ratio in recent years suggests a strategic shift towards greater use of debt financing, possibly to support expansion or other investments. The leverage remains moderate but trending upward, warranting attention to debt management going forward.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data over the observation period reveals several noteworthy trends regarding the company's capital structure, focusing on total debt, total capital, and the debt to capital ratio.
- Total Debt
- The total debt level initially remains relatively stable around the range of US$6.5 billion to US$7.8 billion from early 2020 through late 2021. Starting from early 2022, the debt level experiences a general upward trend, reaching a peak of approximately US$14.2 billion by the first half of 2024. Subsequently, there is a modest decrease towards the second quarter of 2025, settling near US$14.0 billion. This increase in debt indicates a significant rise in leverage during the latter half of the period analyzed.
- Total Capital
- Total capital shows a consistent upward progression throughout the timeframe, increasing from approximately US$14.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to over US$31.0 billion by mid-2024. Thereafter, a slight decline occurs towards mid-2025, reducing total capital to just under US$30.5 billion. Overall, the expansion reflects growth in the company’s financing base, possibly through equity or retained earnings combined with the incremental debt.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio exhibits a fluctuating but gradually increasing pattern across the quarters. Starting at 0.46 in early 2020, the ratio decreases to a low of about 0.34 by mid-2022, indicating a reduction in debt proportion relative to total capital during this interval. Subsequently, the ratio steadily increases, reaching around 0.46 by mid-2025. This recovery suggests the company is taking on proportionally more debt relative to its capital base in recent periods, aligning with the observed rise in total debt.
In summary, the data indicate a period of relatively stable debt and capital early in the timeline, followed by significant growth in both total debt and total capital beginning in 2022. The company’s leverage ratio mirrors these changes, initially decreasing but then rising again, reflecting an increasing reliance on debt to finance its capital structure in the later stages of the period analyzed.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 14,043 ÷ 34,933 = 0.40
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt experienced fluctuations over the examined period. Starting at 6,550 million USD in the first quarter of 2020, it rose gradually reaching a peak around 11,223 million USD by the last quarter of 2021. This was followed by a significant increase, peaking near 14,189 million USD in the first quarter of 2024. After peaking, debt levels showed some decline but remained elevated above 12,000 million USD by mid-2025.
- Total Assets
- Total assets showed a general upward trajectory throughout the timeframe. Beginning at approximately 17,283 million USD in early 2020, assets steadily increased with some minor fluctuations, reaching over 35,000 million USD by mid-2024. The period between early 2024 and mid-2025 saw a slight decline and subsequent stabilization near 34,933 million USD.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- This ratio exhibited considerable variability. Initially, the ratio decreased from 0.38 in early 2020 to a low of around 0.29 by mid-2022, indicating a reduction in leverage relative to asset growth. However, from late 2022 onwards, the ratio increased again, peaking near 0.41 in early 2024 before slightly decreasing to approximately 0.40 by mid-2025. This suggests a return to higher leverage levels after a period of deleveraging.
- Overall Trends and Insights
- The data reveals that total assets consistently grew over the evaluated quarters, reflecting asset accumulation or appreciation. Despite this growth, the increase in total debt, particularly notable from late 2021 through early 2024, caused the debt to assets ratio to rise after a period of decline. The period of deleveraging seen up to mid-2022 was followed by renewed borrowing or debt buildup, elevating leverage levels.
- While the company managed to increase its asset base effectively, the concurrent rise in debt implies a strategic use of leverage, possibly to finance growth initiatives or capital expenditures. The stabilization of debt to assets ratio around 0.40 in recent quarters could indicate a maintained target capital structure or a cautious approach following the peak leverage period.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 34,933 ÷ 16,403 = 2.13
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Assets
-
Total assets displayed a generally increasing trend over the observed periods, beginning at approximately $17.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020 and reaching a peak around $35.5 billion by the end of 2024. There were minor fluctuations, including a slight decline in mid-2022 and again near mid-2025, but overall, the growth trajectory remained consistent. The most notable acceleration in asset growth appears between 2022 and 2024, where assets rose from roughly $26 billion to above $35 billion.
- Stockholders' Equity
-
Stockholders’ equity showed steady growth from about $7.7 billion in early 2020 to a maximum near $17.3 billion in late 2024. The increase was relatively smooth with only minor declines observed toward the latter quarters of the timeline, specifically after the peak in Q4 2024. Notwithstanding slight dips in early and mid-2025, equity values remained substantially increased compared to the start of the period, reflecting strengthening capital base.
- Financial Leverage

Financial leverage, calculated as a ratio of total assets to stockholders' equity, exhibited a downward trend initially, dropping from 2.23 in early 2020 to a low around 1.75-1.8 in 2022, indicating a reduction in leverage and potentially a more conservative capital structure. However, from 2022 onward, the leverage ratio gradually increased again, rising above 2.0 by 2024 and maintaining values slightly above 2.0 into mid-2025. This resurgence suggests a somewhat increased reliance on liabilities relative to equity over the last periods.
- Overall Insights
-
The growth of total assets and stockholders’ equity over time signals expansion and strengthening of the company’s balance sheet. The initial decrease in financial leverage ratio corresponds with equity growth outpacing asset growth, implying enhanced financial stability and reduced risk. The subsequent increase in leverage from 2022 onward points to strategic adjustments, possibly involving higher debt or other liabilities to finance asset growth. Careful monitoring is warranted to balance growth ambitions with financial risk.

The analysis of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) over the presented periods reveals a fluctuating trend with notable variations. Initially, EBIT showed consistent growth from $1,269 million in March 2020 to a peak of $2,730 million in June 2022. This steady increase reflects an upward momentum in operating profitability over more than two years. After reaching this peak, EBIT demonstrates a downward adjustment, dropping to $1,646 million by December 2023, followed by a series of fluctuations in the subsequent quarters, ending at $1,611 million in June 2025. This indicates a period of increased volatility and potential operational challenges or market conditions affecting earnings.
Interest and debt expense remained relatively stable but exhibited a gradual upward trend over the entire period. Starting at $45 million in March 2020, the expense incrementally increased to $133 million by June 2025. The steady rise in interest and debt expenses suggests either an increase in debt levels or higher borrowing costs, which may contribute to pressure on net profitability if earnings do not correspondingly increase.
Interest coverage ratio, which measures the ability to service interest expenses from EBIT, shows strong coverage initially with values exceeding 30 and peaking at above 50 between September 2020 and September 2022. This suggests a very comfortable position regarding interest payments during this period. However, from December 2022 onward, there is a marked decline in the coverage ratio, dropping to around 11 by June 2025. The reduced interest coverage implies that earnings are no longer growing at a pace sufficient to counterbalance rising interest expenses, potentially indicating increased financial risk or tightening margin conditions.
- Summary of Observed Trends:
- EBIT grew steadily and significantly until mid-2022, followed by a decline and increased volatility in operating earnings.
- Interest and debt expenses showed a gradual but consistent rise across the timeline, reflecting potential increased leverage or higher borrowing costs.
- Interest coverage ratio was very strong in the earlier periods but weakened notably in recent years, highlighting a reduced cushion to cover interest obligations.
These patterns collectively suggest that while operating performance was robust for a significant period, the subsequent decline in EBIT and rising interest costs have reduced financial flexibility and increased risk related to debt servicing capacity. Continued monitoring is recommended to assess whether operating profits can stabilize or improve to maintain sustainable coverage levels amid growing interest expenses.
