1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in the company’s debt, equity, and leverage ratios over the period from the end of 2005 through the end of 2015.
- Total Debt
- Total debt saw a general upward trajectory from 2005 through 2012, increasing from 2,192 million US dollars to a peak of 12,345 million US dollars. This represents a more than fivefold increase over seven years. However, the trend shows fluctuations starting in 2013, with a reduction to 9,725 million US dollars, followed by an increase again to 11,245 million in 2014, and a subsequent decline to 8,778 million in 2015. Overall, total debt rose significantly during the period but experienced notable volatility in the last few years observed.
- Total Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity exhibited a generally positive growth trend from 10,541 million US dollars in 2005 to a peak of 33,396 million US dollars in 2013. After this peak, equity declined sharply, dropping to 25,937 million in 2014 and further collapsing to 2,566 million by the end of 2015. This sharp decline at the end of the period indicates a significant deterioration in the company’s net asset position during the latest year.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt-to-equity ratio mostly remained below 0.5 from 2005 through 2014, fluctuating moderately between 0.21 and 0.43, suggesting a relatively balanced capital structure with more reliance on equity than debt. However, in 2015, the ratio surged dramatically to 3.42 due to the simultaneous increase in debt and collapse in equity. This ratio shift indicates a substantial increase in financial leverage, meaning the company became highly dependent on debt financing relative to its equity base, which may raise concerns about financial stability and risk.
In summary, while the company expanded its debt and equity bases for much of the decade, the final year observed marked a significant financial shift. The explosive growth in the debt-to-equity ratio, driven by a steep drop in shareholders’ equity alongside relatively high debt levels, highlights increased financial risk and potential balance sheet weakness. These trends warrant careful analysis of the causes behind the equity decline and the company’s capacity to manage its leverage moving forward.
