1 US$ in millions
- Total Debt
-
Total debt exhibited a general upward trend over the analyzed period. Starting from a modest level in 2013, the debt saw steady increases with notable acceleration particularly after 2016. The total debt peaked around 2023, reaching approximately US$2,980 million, and remained stable through 2025. Despite fluctuations, the increase in total debt indicates an expanding borrowing base.
- Stockholders’ Equity
-
Stockholders’ equity consistently increased throughout the entire period under review. Beginning at US$592 million in 2013, equity values more than doubled by 2018 and continued to grow substantially, reaching over US$9,000 million by 2025. This steady growth suggests robust capital accumulation and reinvestment, enhancing the financial foundation of the entity.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
-
The debt to equity ratio showed variability but exhibited a declining trend in the later years. Initially, the ratio rose significantly from 0.04 in 2013 to a peak near 0.94 around 2017, reflecting an increased leverage relative to equity during that period. However, after 2017, the ratio decreased and stabilized below 0.55, reaching approximately 0.33 by 2025. This reduction signifies an improvement in the capital structure, indicating relatively lower reliance on debt compared to equity financing over time.
- Overall Financial Structure Insights
-
The financial data reveal an expanding balance sheet characterized by both rising debt and equity levels. Although debt increased in absolute terms, equity grew at a considerably faster pace, leading to a more favorable debt to equity ratio in recent years. This trend points to enhanced financial stability and possibly improved creditworthiness, as equity strengthens relative to liabilities. The company's approach appears balanced, managing debt levels while significantly increasing shareholder equity.
