The financial profile exhibits a consistent and significant improvement in solvency and capital structure from March 31, 2022, through March 31, 2026. A systematic reduction in leverage is observed across all tracked metrics, indicating a strategic deleveraging process and a substantial strengthening of the balance sheet over the analyzed period.
- Leverage and Equity Ratios
- A substantial decline in the debt-to-equity ratio is evident, falling from 9.55 to 1.52. When operating lease liabilities are included, the ratio similarly decreased from 11.12 to 1.95. This trajectory suggests a significant expansion of equity relative to total debt obligations. Financial leverage followed a corresponding downward trend, decreasing from a peak of 19.05 to 5.10, reflecting a markedly lower reliance on borrowed funds to finance assets.
- Capital and Asset Composition
- Debt to capital ratios demonstrate a steady decline, with the standard ratio moving from 0.91 to 0.60 and the lease-inclusive ratio moving from 0.92 to 0.66. Similarly, the debt-to-assets ratio improved from 0.50 to 0.30, while the lease-inclusive version decreased from 0.58 to 0.38. These shifts indicate that a smaller proportion of the total asset base and overall capital structure is funded by debt.
- Debt Servicing Capacity
- The interest coverage ratio demonstrates a critical turnaround, ascending from a negative value of -0.56 in March 2022 to 5.15 by March 2026. This transition from an inability to cover interest expenses to a robust coverage level signifies a substantial increase in operating profitability and a significant reduction in financial risk.

A consistent and significant improvement in the solvency position is evident over the analyzed period from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2026. The financial trajectory is characterized by a simultaneous reduction in total liabilities and a substantial expansion of the equity base, resulting in a marked decrease in financial leverage.
- Total Debt Dynamics
- Total debt exhibited a sustained downward trend, decreasing from 34,617 million USD in March 2022 to 24,193 million USD by March 2026. This steady decline indicates a consistent reduction in the company's total borrowing obligations over the observed timeframe.
- Stockholders' Equity Growth
- Stockholders' equity grew substantially, rising from 3,624 million USD in March 2022 to 15,876 million USD in March 2026. This growth represents a more than four-fold increase in the equity cushion, significantly enhancing the company's net worth and capacity to absorb losses.
- Debt to Equity Ratio Analysis
- The debt to equity ratio experienced a sharp contraction, falling from a peak of 9.55 in March 2022 to 1.52 by March 2026. The most aggressive improvement occurred between March 2022 and December 2022, where the ratio dropped to 4.68. The subsequent gradual decline through 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates a fundamental shift in the capital structure toward a less leveraged and more sustainable financial position.

- Total debt, encompassing operating lease liabilities, shows a consistent downward trajectory. Starting at 40,298 million USD in March 2022, the balance decreased to 30,971 million USD by March 2026. This steady reduction indicates a disciplined approach to deleveraging the balance sheet over the analyzed period.
- Equity Growth
- Stockholders' equity expanded significantly, rising from 3,624 million USD in March 2022 to 15,876 million USD by March 2026. The growth was particularly aggressive between December 2022 and June 2024, providing a stronger capital base to support operations and debt obligations.
- Debt to Equity Ratio Compression
- The debt-to-equity ratio experienced a dramatic decline, moving from 11.12 in March 2022 to 1.95 by March 2026. The ratio fell below the 6.0 threshold by December 2022 and continued a steady descent, dropping below 3.0 by June 2024. This compression reflects a fundamental shift in the capital structure, transitioning from a highly leveraged position to a more sustainable solvency profile.

- Total Capital Stability
- Total capital remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a range of 37,844 million USD to 41,331 million USD. Because total capital did not experience a proportional decline, the improvement in the solvency ratio is primarily attributed to the active reduction of total debt rather than fluctuations in equity or other capital components.
- Solvency Implications
- The continuous drop in the debt-to-capital ratio suggests an enhanced capacity to meet long-term obligations and a reduced financial risk profile. The transition from a ratio of 0.91 to 0.60 signifies that debt constitutes a considerably smaller proportion of the capital structure at the end of the period compared to the beginning.

A consistent improvement in solvency is observed over the period from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2026. The financial trajectory indicates a systematic deleveraging process, characterized by a reduction in absolute debt levels relative to total capital.
- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- A persistent downward trend is evident in total debt, which decreased from 40,298 million US$ in March 2022 to 30,971 million US$ by March 2026. This steady decline suggests a sustained reduction in liabilities over the analyzed timeframe.
- Total Capital (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- Total capital exhibited relative stability with a gradual upward trend, beginning at 43,922 million US$ and ending at 46,847 million US$. The combination of increasing total capital and decreasing total debt indicates a structural shift in the balance sheet toward a greater proportion of equity or other non-debt financing.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio shows a continuous decline from 0.92 in the first quarter of 2022 to 0.66 by the first quarter of 2026. This reduction reflects a significant improvement in the company's solvency position and a diminished reliance on borrowed funds to support its capital base.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 24,193 ÷ 80,941 = 0.30
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
A consistent improvement in the solvency position is observed over the analyzed period, characterized by a steady decline in the debt-to-assets ratio. This ratio decreased from 0.50 in March 2022 to 0.30 by March 2026, indicating a strategic reduction in financial leverage and an increase in the proportion of assets financed by equity or non-debt liabilities.
- Total Debt Trajectory
- A sustained downward trend in total debt is evident, with values falling from 34,617 million US dollars in March 2022 to 24,193 million US dollars by March 2026. This consistent reduction reflects a systematic repayment of obligations, with total debt decreasing by approximately 30% over the period.
- Asset Base Expansion
- Total assets exhibited general growth, rising from 69,038 million US dollars in March 2022 to 80,941 million US dollars in March 2026. While there were minor fluctuations during 2022 and 2023, the overall trajectory indicates a strengthening of the balance sheet through asset accumulation.
- Solvency Ratio Dynamics
- The simultaneous reduction of liabilities and the expansion of the asset base resulted in a significant improvement in the debt-to-assets ratio. After remaining relatively stable at 0.48 during the first three quarters of 2022, the ratio entered a period of continuous decline. The transition from a ratio of 0.50 to 0.30 suggests a substantially lower risk profile and enhanced financial stability by the end of the analyzed timeframe.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data indicates a consistent improvement in the solvency position of the entity from March 31, 2022, through March 31, 2026. This strengthening is characterized by a simultaneous reduction in total liabilities and a general expansion of the asset base, resulting in a significant decrease in the debt-to-assets ratio.
- Total Debt Trends
- A steady downward trajectory in total debt, including operating lease liabilities, is observed. Total debt decreased from 40,298 million US$ in March 2022 to 30,971 million US$ by March 2026. This represents a total reduction of approximately 9.3 billion US$ over the analyzed period, reflecting a disciplined approach to deleveraging.
- Asset Base Evolution
- Total assets exhibited a general growth trend, increasing from 69,038 million US$ in March 2022 to 80,941 million US$ by March 2026. While some quarterly fluctuations occurred, the overall trajectory indicates a substantial expansion of the entity's resource base, particularly in the final quarters of the period.
- Solvency Ratio Interpretation
- The debt-to-assets ratio declined from 0.58 in March 2022 to 0.38 by March 2026. This decline signifies that a smaller proportion of assets is financed through debt over time. The reduction in the ratio is driven by the dual effect of decreasing total debt and increasing total assets, which collectively enhance the entity's long-term financial stability and reduce its leverage risk.

A comprehensive review of the solvency metrics indicates a significant strengthening of the capital structure. The primary characteristic of this period is a consistent and substantial reduction in financial leverage, coinciding with a robust increase in stockholders' equity.
- Financial Leverage Trend
- A sharp downward trajectory is observed in the financial leverage ratio, which decreased from 19.05 in March 2022 to 5.10 by March 2026. The most rapid decline occurred between March 2022 and December 2022, where the ratio fell from 19.05 to 9.77. This suggests an aggressive deleveraging phase during the first year of the observed period, followed by a more gradual but steady improvement in the solvency profile over the subsequent years.
- Stockholders' Equity Expansion
- The reduction in leverage is primarily driven by a substantial growth in stockholders' equity. Equity rose from 3,624 million USD in March 2022 to 15,876 million USD by March 2026. This represents a more than fourfold increase in the equity base, which has significantly enhanced the company's ability to absorb losses and reduced its dependence on external debt financing.
- Asset Base Dynamics
- Total assets remained relatively stable throughout the analyzed period, fluctuating between a low of 67,358 million USD in December 2022 and a peak of 80,941 million USD in March 2026. While there was a general upward trend in total assets, the growth rate of the asset base was far outpaced by the growth in equity. This confirms that the improvement in the leverage ratio is a result of internal capital accumulation or equity infusions rather than a contraction of the asset base.
Overall, the financial trajectory reflects a transition from a highly leveraged position to a more sustainable financial structure. The steady decline in the leverage ratio through 2024 and 2025 indicates a disciplined approach to capital management and a materially improved solvency position heading into 2026.

A significant improvement in the company's solvency profile is observed between March 2022 and March 2026. The ability to service debt has transitioned from a deficit position to a robust surplus, driven by both the growth in operating earnings and a systematic reduction in interest obligations.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) Trends
- Operating performance exhibits a strong recovery and a consistent upward trajectory, despite recurring quarterly volatility. After a deficit of 1,352 million in March 2022, EBIT shifted to positive territory by June 2022. A cyclical pattern is evident, with performance typically dipping in the first quarter of each year and peaking in the second and third quarters. This seasonality is balanced by an overall growth trend, with peak earnings reaching 2,106 million in June 2024.
- Interest Expense Analysis
- Net interest expenses remained relatively stable between 393 million and 451 million from March 2022 through March 2024. However, a sustained downward trend emerged starting in June 2024, with expenses declining to 273 million by March 2026. This reduction in interest burden has contributed significantly to the expansion of the solvency margin.
- Interest Coverage Ratio Evolution
- The interest coverage ratio demonstrates a steep and consistent ascent, rising from -0.56 in March 2022 to 5.15 by March 2026. The ratio crossed the critical threshold of 1.0 in late 2022, indicating that EBIT became sufficient to cover interest payments. Throughout 2023 and 2024, the ratio stabilized and grew from approximately 2.44 to 3.97. The most recent periods show further acceleration, with the ratio consistently remaining above 4.40 from March 2025 onwards, reflecting a substantially lowered risk of default and increased financial flexibility.
