- Debt to Equity (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The ratio begins at 1.76 in Q1 2020 and shows a gradual downward trend through the periods. By Q4 2021, it decreases to 1.53, further declining to a low of 1.24 by mid-2024. However, the ratio shows a slight uptick in Q3 and Q4 2024, ending at 1.33 in Q1 2025. This suggests an overall reduction in reliance on debt compared to equity over the observed periods, with a minor increase in the most recent quarters.
- Debt to Capital (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- This ratio remains relatively stable, beginning at 0.64 in Q1 2020 and fluctuating minimally throughout the periods. A gradual decline is observed until mid-2024, reaching a low point of 0.54, then slightly increases to 0.57 by Q1 2025. This indicates a steady proportion of debt relative to total capital, with slight improvement over time followed by marginal increases recently.
- Debt to Assets (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The ratio starts at 0.57 in Q1 2020 and gently declines to 0.53 by the end of 2021. It continues a slow decrease to 0.48 in mid-2024, followed by minor fluctuations ending at 0.51 in Q1 2025. This pattern reflects a modest decrease in debt relative to total assets, indicating slight improvement in asset coverage of debt, though with minor variability in the latest periods.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage begins at 3.11 in Q1 2020, showing a gradual decline through the periods to 2.50 by Q2 2024. Starting in Q3 2024, the leverage sees a slight increase, reaching 2.59 by Q1 2025. This trend indicates decreased leverage over the majority of the periods, implying a reduction in total asset utilization relative to equity, with a modest rise in the most recent quarters.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals a continuous upward trend in shareholders’ equity from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025, with some fluctuations. Initially, equity increased steadily from approximately 1.67 billion USD in March 2020 to about 2.30 billion USD by December 2021. A decline was observed in the first quarter of 2022, dropping to approximately 2.13 billion USD, followed by recovery and strong growth thereafter, peaking near 3.71 billion USD by June 2024 before experiencing a moderate decrease to around 3.49 billion USD by March 2025.
This upward trajectory suggests ongoing capital accumulation through retained earnings or other equity-augmenting activities. The slight decline phases, particularly in early 2022 and early 2025, may indicate distributions, losses, or other adjustments impacting equity.
There is no recorded data for total debt or debt to equity ratio across the periods, indicating either the absence of debt or unreported debt figures for these quarters. This absence limits the evaluation of the company's leverage and capital structure dynamics.
Overall, the increasing equity balance points to a strengthening equity base, enhancing the company's financial stability and capacity to absorb losses or fund expansions. However, the lack of debt data requires caution in fully assessing financial risk and solvency.

= 4,633,079 ÷ 3,490,872 = 1.33
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals the evolution of total debt, shareholders' equity, and the debt to equity ratio over a series of quarterly periods. A comprehensive assessment of these items highlights several notable trends and shifts.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt demonstrated a generally increasing trend from March 2020 through March 2025. Starting at approximately $2.94 billion in March 2020, total debt rose steadily, reaching approximately $4.63 billion by March 2025. There were no significant reductions or reversals in this upward trajectory, indicating a consistent accumulation of liabilities over the periods observed.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders' equity followed a more variable path compared to debt. From March 2020 to around December 2021, equity increased substantially from about $1.67 billion to approximately $2.30 billion, suggesting growth in retained earnings or capital contributions during this timeframe. However, from early 2022 through March 2025, equity displayed fluctuations; it peaked around June 2024 at approximately $3.71 billion but showed some declines afterward, ending near $3.49 billion in March 2025. This pattern indicates periods of equity growth intermixed with phases of contraction or revaluation.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to equity ratio began at about 1.76 in March 2020 and demonstrated a decline to roughly 1.32 by December 2023, suggesting an improving balance between debt and equity during those years. This decline indicates that equity growth outpaced the rise in total debt for a substantial period, reflecting potentially healthier leverage metrics. Nevertheless, from late 2023 through March 2025, the ratio slightly reversed upward to approximately 1.33, indicating some increased leverage or proportionally higher debt relative to shareholders’ equity in the most recent quarters.
In summary, the company has steadily increased its total debt over the examined period. Shareholders’ equity grew considerably through the middle of the timeframe but with some volatility in later periods. The debt to equity ratio improved from 2020 to late 2023, showing a reduction in relative leverage, but experienced a modest rise thereafter, suggesting a slight increase in financial leverage toward the end of the timeline. These dynamics illustrate an ongoing balancing act between debt accumulation and equity growth, with recent trends indicating a cautious increase in leverage.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The available financial data shows the total capital values for each quarter indicated, beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and extending through to the first quarter of 2025. The category labeled "Total debt" and the ratio "Debt to capital" do not have any reported values for the periods analyzed.
- Total Capital
- The total capital demonstrates an overall upward trend throughout the time series. Starting at approximately $1,672 million in the first quarter of 2020, it generally increased, reaching a peak of about $3,711 million by the second quarter of 2024. This growth reflects an expansion of the company's capital base over the five-year span.
- There are some fluctuations visible within the quarterly data. For example, total capital rose from around $1,672 million in Q1 2020 to $2,027 million by Q4 2020, showing steady increases in 2020. In 2021, total capital continued its growth momentum, moving from approximately $2,098 million to $2,297 million from Q1 to Q4.
- During 2022, the capital base showed moderate growth and slight volatility. The figures moved from roughly $2,134 million in Q1 to about $2,368 million in Q4. In 2023, the total capital exhibited more pronounced increases, starting at $2,482 million in Q1 and reaching over $3,062 million by Q4.
- In 2024, total capital peaked mid-year, hitting over $3,711 million in Q2, but then experienced some decline to approximately $3,615 million in Q3 and further down to $3,655 million in Q4. The first quarter of 2025 saw a decrease to approximately $3,491 million, which is lower than the preceding quarters of 2024 but still significantly above the 2020 levels.
Because the data for total debt and the debt to capital ratio is missing, no assessment can be made about the company’s leverage or debt structure over the reported periods. The absence of debt data limits analysis of financial risk and capital structure dynamics.
Overall, the total capital's consistent upward trend over five years indicates capital growth and an expanding financial base. Some periods showed minor pullbacks, especially toward the end of the dataset, which may warrant further investigation to understand underlying causes. Without comprehensive debt information, the full picture of financial health and risk profile remains incomplete.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends and observations related to the company's debt, capital structure, and leverage ratios over the examined periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt exhibits a steady upward trajectory from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025. Beginning at approximately 2.94 billion USD, the debt increases consistently each quarter, reaching over 4.63 billion USD by the end of the period. This gradual increase indicates a consistent reliance on debt financing or lease obligations over time without any visible significant reductions or debt repayments that exceed new borrowings.
- Total Capital (including operating lease liability)
- Total capital has also increased over the same period but shows more variability. Starting from about 4.62 billion USD in early 2020, it rises notably to peak around 8.20 billion USD by the end of 2024 and then slightly declines towards 8.12 billion USD in the first quarter of 2025. While the overall trend is upward, capital growth is not as linear as debt, with some occasional minor declines suggesting fluctuating equity or other forms of capital adjustments.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to capital ratio illustrates the proportion of debt relative to the company’s total capital structure. Initially, this ratio remains relatively high, in the range of 0.63 to 0.64 between early 2020 and mid-2020, reflecting a more leveraged position. Subsequently, there is a gradual but consistent decline in this ratio, moving from around 0.61 in early 2021 to a low near 0.54-0.55 during late 2023 and 2024. The most recent data point shows a slight increase back to 0.57. This trend suggests an overall improvement in capital structure with a modest reduction in leverage over the years, attributable to capital increases outpacing debt growth. However, the ratio plateauing toward the end of the period signals a possible stabilization or slight reversal in leverage reduction efforts.
In summary, the company’s financial profile over the reported intervals reflects rising indebtedness accompanied by relatively stronger growth in capital base, resulting in a declining debt to capital ratio and thus reduced relative leverage. This pattern points to strategic borrowing combined with effective capitalization measures that have improved financial stability and creditworthiness. The recent uptick in leverage ratio near the end may warrant monitoring to assess if it signals a shift toward increased financial risk.

The financial data reveals the following trends and observations concerning the company's total assets over the given quarterly periods.
- Total Assets
- The total assets show a generally positive trend from March 31, 2020, through March 31, 2025. Starting at approximately 5.21 billion USD in March 2020, total assets steadily increased over the period, reaching a peak occasionally surpassing 9 billion USD by 2024. This suggests consistent growth in the asset base.
- There are some fluctuations, but the overall trajectory is upward, indicative of expansion or asset accumulation over time. The total assets reached approximately 9.01 billion USD at the end of 2024 and around 9.04 billion USD by the first quarter of 2025, demonstrating sustained asset growth.
- Total Debt
- No data is available for total debt across all periods, making it impossible to assess leverage or debt trends.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- Similarly, the debt to assets ratio figures are missing entirely. Without this information, it is not possible to analyze the company’s financial leverage or compare debt levels relative to asset growth.
In summary, the visible data exhibits a clear growth pattern in total assets throughout the observed timeframe, indicating an overall strengthening in asset position. The lack of debt-related information precludes a comprehensive evaluation of financial risk or capital structure. Further data on liabilities and equity would be necessary to complete the financial profile and assess the balance between debt funding and asset growth.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends related to the company's debt levels, asset base, and leverage ratios over the observed periods.
- Total Debt (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
The total debt has shown a consistent upward trajectory from March 31, 2020, to March 31, 2025. Beginning at approximately $2.94 billion, the debt rose steadily, reaching about $4.63 billion by the end of the period. This represents a considerable increase in total debt, indicating ongoing borrowing or lease liabilities accumulation over these years. While the debt increments are generally incremental, the trend suggests a strategic increase in leverage or financing activities.
- Total Assets
-
Total assets also exhibit a general upward trend across the quarters, growing from approximately $5.21 billion on March 31, 2020, to roughly $9.04 billion by March 31, 2025. While the asset base expanded significantly, there were minor fluctuations observed, particularly slight decreases around early 2022 and again near the end of the observed period. Despite these fluctuations, the overall growth in assets suggests capital expansion and asset acquisition over the period.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
-
The debt to assets ratio demonstrates a declining trend from 0.57 at the beginning of the timeline to about 0.51 by March 31, 2025, with minor fluctuations in between. Initially, the ratio decreases steadily from 0.57 to a range around 0.53 through 2020 and 2021, followed by some variation between 0.48 and 0.55 in subsequent periods. This decline in the leverage ratio despite increasing total debt indicates that the growth rate of total assets has outpaced that of total debt, suggesting a relatively conservative leverage position improvement over time.
Overall, the data shows a company that has incrementally increased its debt load while simultaneously expanding its asset base substantially, resulting in a gradual reduction in leverage measured by the debt to assets ratio. This pattern may reflect strategic asset investments funded partly through increased liabilities, yet maintaining or improving financial stability by keeping leverage at moderate levels.

The financial data reveals several notable trends in total assets, shareholders' equity, and financial leverage over the observed periods.
- Total Assets
-
Total assets generally demonstrate a growth trajectory from March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2024. Beginning at approximately 5.21 billion US dollars, total assets increased steadily to a peak of around 9.01 billion US dollars in September 2024. Notwithstanding some fluctuations, such as a slight decline from December 2024 to March 2025, the overall trend indicates an expansion in the asset base over the five-year span.
- Shareholders’ Equity
-
Shareholders’ equity also exhibits significant growth across the period, increasing from approximately 1.67 billion US dollars at the start to a high of about 3.71 billion US dollars by June 2024. There is a visible upward momentum especially in the later periods from December 2022 onward. However, the last recorded quarter shows a decline to roughly 3.49 billion, indicating some recent contraction in equity.
- Financial Leverage
-
Financial leverage, expressed as a ratio, shows a clear downward trend from over 3.1 times in early 2020 to around 2.5 times by mid-2024. This steady decrease suggests a reduction in the relative amount of debt compared to equity. A small increase is observable toward the end of the period, but the leverage ratio remains significantly below the early 2020 levels. The decline in this ratio over time indicates an improvement in the company’s capital structure, implying less reliance on debt financing.
- Combined Insights
-
The simultaneous growth in total assets and shareholders’ equity alongside a reduction in financial leverage ratio suggests a strengthening balance sheet with greater equity financing. Despite some recent moderation in equity growth and a minor uptick in leverage, overall trends point toward enhanced financial stability and a more conservative capital structure through the observed timeframe.
