- Debt to Equity (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to equity ratio including operating lease liability exhibited some fluctuation over the observed periods. Initially, it remained relatively stable around 1.55 from March 2021 through December 2021, followed by a slight increase peaking near 1.68 in mid-2022. Subsequently, the ratio generally declined through late 2023 and early 2024, reaching a low of approximately 1.15 in mid-2024. Toward the end of the timeline, the ratio rose again, closing near 1.55 by September 2025. This pattern suggests periods of increased leverage and subsequent deleveraging, followed by a renewed increase in leverage towards the end of the series.
- Debt to Capital (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to capital ratio including operating lease liability was mostly stable with minor variations. It hovered around 0.60 to 0.62 between early 2021 and late 2022, indicating a consistent proportion of debt within the company's capital structure. From late 2022 through mid-2024, there was a gradual decrease, reaching a minimum near 0.54, implying some reduction in leverage relative to total capital. In the final periods, from late 2024 to late 2025, the ratio again edged upwards, returning to around 0.61, consistent with the renewed increase in financial leverage observed.
- Debt to Assets (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to assets ratio including operating lease liability showed moderate stability with a narrow range between 0.50 and 0.55 across most periods. Starting around 0.53 in early 2021, it increased slightly to about 0.55 by mid-2022, then trended downward to approximately 0.48 in early 2024, reflecting a somewhat improved asset financing mix with reduced reliance on debt. However, in the final observed quarters, the ratio increased back to around 0.54, indicating a higher proportion of assets financed by debt once more.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio initially followed a downward trend from 2.93 in early 2021 to near 2.63 by late 2023 and early 2024, reflecting a gradual strengthening equity base or reduction in overall leverage. The lowest points are observed in early to mid-2024 around 2.40 to 2.50. Afterwards, a reversal occurred with leverage increasing towards 2.88 by the third quarter of 2025, suggesting a deliberate increase in leverage or shrinkage of equity relative to total assets in the latter periods.
- Overall Analysis
- The data reveals a pattern of stable to slightly elevated leverage ratios through 2021 and mid-2022, followed by a period of deleveraging from late 2022 through mid-2024. During this latter period, all leverage metrics indicate reduced reliance on debt and overall financial risk mitigation. However, beginning in late 2024, a reversal is observed as leverage increases across multiple ratios, indicating a strategic shift to higher debt utilization or equity adjustments. The fluctuations in these ratios suggest responsive financial management aligned with changing operational or market conditions, with a cautious approach to leverage that balances between risk and capital efficiency over the examined timeframe.

- Shareholders' equity trends
- The shareholders' equity demonstrates a generally upward trajectory from March 31, 2021, through June 30, 2025. Starting at approximately 2.10 billion USD, it increased overall, reaching a peak close to 3.71 billion USD by mid-2024. This signifies steady growth in the company's net assets over the period observed.
- However, from mid-2024 onward, a minor decline is observed. Equity decreases slightly from around 3.71 billion USD in June 2024 to about 3.22 billion USD by September 2025. This reduction may reflect either distribution to shareholders, asset write-downs, or other changes impacting equity.
- Total debt and debt to equity
- No data on total debt or the debt-to-equity ratio was provided, leaving an incomplete view of the company’s leverage position. The absence of debt information restricts analysis regarding financial risk and capital structure changes over time.
- Summary of financial position observation
- The data indicates that the company has strengthened its equity base significantly during the period from early 2021 through mid-2024. The subsequent slight decline in equity towards late 2025 should be monitored for potential implications. Without debt figures, the assessment of financial stability and leverage cannot be fully determined.

The financial data indicates evolving dynamics in the company's capital structure over multiple quarters. Key metrics tracked include total debt (accounting for operating lease liabilities), shareholders’ equity, and the debt-to-equity ratio.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- Total debt demonstrates a consistent upward trajectory throughout the measured periods. Beginning at approximately $3.25 billion, the figure gradually increases each quarter, surpassing $4.98 billion by the final recorded period. This trend reflects a growing leverage position, suggesting increased reliance on debt financing or extended lease obligations over time.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity presents a more varied pattern. Initially rising from around $2.10 billion to a peak near $3.71 billion, there are notable fluctuations afterwards. After reaching this higher level, equity decreases to about $3.22 billion by the end of the timeline. The initial increase may reflect retained earnings growth or capital contributions, while the subsequent decline could indicate share repurchases, dividends, losses, or other equity adjustments.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt-to-equity ratio starts moderately elevated at approximately 1.55 and maintains a generally declining trend through the intermediate periods, reaching a low near 1.15. This suggests reduced relative leverage during this phase, likely driven by a stronger equity base relative to debt growth. However, in the latter periods, this ratio trends upward again, ending at roughly 1.55, indicating a resurgence in leverage intensity relative to shareholders’ equity.
Overall, the data conveys that while the company consistently increases its total debt, the shareholders' equity experienced growth followed by a retrenchment. The debt-to-equity ratio’s fluctuation implies periods of deleveraging were followed by renewed debt accumulation relative to equity. These shifts may reflect strategic financing decisions or market conditions affecting capital costs and investment opportunities.

The financial data reveals insights into the capital structure and its progression over multiple quarters.
- Total Capital
- The total capital shows an overall upward trend from March 31, 2021, through the subsequent quarters. Starting at approximately 2.10 billion USD in early 2021, it increases fairly steadily, reaching a peak of about 3.71 billion USD by June 30, 2024. Interestingly, some volatility is observed in the later periods, particularly between mid-2024 and the end of the available data, where total capital declines somewhat, falling to around 3.22 billion USD by September 30, 2025. This indicates growth in total capital over the majority of the observed timeframe, with a slight contraction toward the end.
- Total Debt
- No data is available for total debt across all reporting periods, which limits analysis of the debt component of the capital structure.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The absence of data for this ratio throughout the periods prevents direct assessment of leverage trends or capital risk dynamics.
In summary, the trend in total capital indicates consistent growth over the majority of the period analyzed, reflecting possible increases in equity, reinvested earnings, or other capital sources. The absence of data on total debt and debt to capital ratio constrains the ability to evaluate leverage or debt management strategies during the periods under review.

The analysis of the financial metrics over the reported quarterly periods reveals a dynamic evolution in the company's debt structure and capital composition.
- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
The total debt consistently increased across the quarters, starting from approximately 3,249 million USD at the beginning of the period and rising steadily to nearly 4,980 million USD by the end. This upward trend indicates ongoing borrowing or accumulation of liabilities, which might be associated with financing operational activities, capital expenditures, or other strategic initiatives.
- Total Capital (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
Total capital also exhibited a growth pattern, increasing from about 5,347 million USD to approximately 8,202 million USD over the period analyzed. The capital base was expanded at a significant pace, reflecting either increased equity, retained earnings, or liabilities contributing to the overall capital structure.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
The debt-to-capital ratio started at around 0.61 and showed some fluctuations throughout the quarters. It rose slightly to peak around 0.63 in mid-2022, then declined steadily to a low near 0.54 in mid-2024, before increasing again towards 0.61 by the end of the period. These variations suggest shifts in the balance between debt and total capital, highlighting periods of deleveraging followed by renewed leverage. The reduction phase may indicate efforts to strengthen the equity base or reduce debt proportion, while the subsequent increase could correspond to new borrowing or changes in capital structure.
Overall, the data reflects a general growth in both debt and capital, with strategic fluctuations in leverage ratios. These trends imply active management of the capital structure, balancing growth and financial risk over time.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 0 ÷ 9,281,848 = 0.00
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data indicate a consistent upward trend in total assets over the periods analyzed. Starting from approximately 6.15 billion US dollars at the end of Q1 2021, the total assets steadily increased, reaching around 9.28 billion US dollars by Q3 2025. This suggests a growth in the company's asset base, which may be indicative of expansion, reinvestment, or acquisition activities.
Unfortunately, the absence of reported values for total debt and the debt-to-assets ratio limits the ability to assess the company's leverage and financial risk profile. Without these metrics, it is not possible to evaluate how the company is managing its capital structure or to analyze trends related to indebtedness relative to its assets.
- Total Assets
- Show a clear and steady growth trend over the timeframe, increasing by approximately 51% from the beginning to the end of the period under review.
- The incremental increases each quarter are consistent, with no evident periods of decline or stagnation.
- Total Debt and Debt to Assets Ratio
- Data are unavailable, restricting the analysis of leverage and solvency ratios.
In summary, the company exhibits asset growth, which can signal underlying business expansion or accumulation of resources; however, the inability to evaluate debt levels prevents a comprehensive assessment of financial stability and risk management.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data indicates evolving trends in the company's debt structure and asset base over multiple quarterly periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt has shown an overall increasing trend from approximately $3.25 billion to nearly $5.0 billion over the observed time frame. Notably, while debt increased steadily through early periods, the rate of growth appeared to accelerate particularly in the later quarters, indicating increased leverage or financing activities.
- Total Assets
- Total assets also increased from roughly $6.15 billion to close to $9.3 billion during the same period. The asset growth was relatively stable with some periods of more pronounced increase, such as between mid-2022 and early 2024. This general upward trajectory suggests ongoing asset accumulation and investment.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt-to-assets ratio fluctuated between 0.49 and 0.55. Early measurements were around 0.53, followed by a slight rise to about 0.55. Subsequently, this ratio trended downward to a low near 0.48, indicating a temporary reduction in leverage relative to assets. However, in the most recent periods, the ratio crept back upward to approximately 0.54.
Overall, the company demonstrates growth in both total assets and total debt over time. The fluctuating but generally moderate debt-to-asset ratio suggests a balanced approach to leverage, with periods of increased borrowing possibly to support expansion or operational needs, tempered by phases of maintaining or improving financial stability. The trend toward increasing debt towards the end of the period may warrant monitoring for future risk assessment.

The financial data over the reported periods reveal several notable trends in the company's asset base, equity position, and leverage profile.
- Total assets
- Total assets display a generally increasing trend over the timeline. Starting at approximately $6.15 billion, assets grew steadily to about $9.28 billion by the last reported quarter. Despite minor fluctuations, the upward trajectory suggests consistent asset accumulation or investment expansion.
- Shareholders’ equity
- Equity values show more variability but with an overall growth pattern until after early 2024. Beginning near $2.1 billion, equity increased substantially to a peak above $3.7 billion around mid-2024, followed by a slight decline toward the last periods, ending near $3.2 billion. This behavior indicates periods of capital strengthening, potentially through retained earnings or capital issuance, succeeded by downward adjustments possibly due to losses, dividends, or other equity reductions.
- Financial leverage
- The leverage ratio exhibited a declining trend from approximately 2.93 down to around 2.40 by mid-2024, implying reduced reliance on debt relative to equity during this period. However, following this trough, leverage increased again toward the end of the dataset, reaching approximately 2.88. This suggests a cyclical pattern where the company initially deleverages, strengthening its equity base relative to liabilities, and later assumes more financial leverage.
Overall, the company’s asset base consistently expanded, reflecting growth or reinvestment activities. The equity trend indicates strengthened ownership capital reaching a high point, followed by a partial reversal, which might warrant further analysis regarding the causes of equity contraction. The leverage ratio's movements imply strategic adjustments in the capital structure, balancing between equity enhancement and debt financing according to the company’s financial policies or market conditions.
