Total Debt
The total debt exhibits a fluctuating pattern over the period analyzed. Initially, total debt increased from approximately 6.6 billion USD in 2005 to a peak near 12 billion USD in 2013. After 2013, there was a general decline until 2019, reaching a low of about 4.3 billion USD. Following that, debt levels rose again moderately through 2021 before stabilizing around 6.4 billion USD by 2022. This pattern suggests phases of increased leveraging followed by periods of deleveraging.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity generally trended upward from 14.9 billion USD in 2005 to a peak of over 21 billion USD in 2010 and 2011. Subsequently, a notable decline occurred from 2013 onwards, with a sharp decrease around 2014 to 2016, reaching a low near 2.9 billion USD by 2020. Following 2020, equity rebounded, increasing steadily to approximately 11.2 billion USD in 2022. This trend indicates variability in retained earnings and possible impacts from market conditions or company performance.
Debt to Equity Ratio
The debt-to-equity ratio remained relatively stable and moderate from 2005 until about 2010, fluctuating roughly between 0.29 and 0.59. However, a significant increase occurred starting in 2014, with the ratio peaking at 1.86, indicating a period where debt levels substantially exceeded equity. This elevated leverage persisted through 2016 before gradually decreasing to 0.58 by 2022. The variation in this ratio underscores shifts in capital structure, reflecting changes in borrowing and equity value over time.
Overall Analysis
The data reveals cyclical patterns in both debt and equity, with marked volatility from 2013 onward. The period between 2013 and 2016 is characterized by high leverage and reduced equity, implying potential financial stress or strategic restructuring. From 2017 forward, a recovery phase is observable through reductions in debt relative to equity and improvements in the debt-to-equity ratio. The fluctuation in these key financial metrics highlights the company's dynamic approach to managing capital and responding to economic or industry-specific challenges.
