The analysis of the quarterly financial ratios reveals distinct trends in the company’s capital structure and debt management over the available periods.
- Debt to Equity
- The debt to equity ratio shows some volatility, starting at 3.65 at the end of 2018, initially decreasing to 2.85 by the third quarter of 2019, then generally increasing with notable peaks such as 8.46 as of June 2021. This suggests fluctuating reliance on debt financing relative to equity. When including operating lease liabilities, the pattern is similar but slightly higher, indicating that leases contribute meaningfully to financial leverage.
- Debt to Capital
- The debt to capital ratio shows an overall increasing trend, rising from 0.79 at the end of 2018 to values exceeding 1.5 from the end of 2021 onwards, peaking near 1.89 around mid-2024. This indicates a growing proportion of debt within the company's total capital structure. The inclusion of operating lease liabilities similarly shows this upward trend, confirming leases as part of the company’s increasing financial obligations.
- Debt to Assets
- This ratio, representing the proportion of assets financed through debt, follows a rising trajectory from approximately 0.64 at the end of 2018 to values above 1.2 starting from late 2021, peaking at 1.42 around early 2025. Including operating lease liabilities yields marginally higher ratios, signifying leases contribute to leveraged asset financing.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage decreased initially from 5.73 at the end of 2018 to 4.85 in late 2020, then surged sharply to 12.73 by September 2021. This sharp increase indicates a significant amplification in the company's use of debt relative to equity, consistent with the increase observed in debt to equity ratios.
- Interest Coverage
- Interest coverage ratios, available from mid-2019, depict a strong improving trend, increasing from about 6.44 to peaks above 12.8 during 2021, then declining gradually to levels around 7 by early 2025. This suggests the company’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) initially grew sufficiently to cover interest expenses multiple times, but this capacity weakened slightly after 2021 while remaining relatively stable and above 6, reflecting an adequate ability to meet interest obligations.
Overall, the financial ratios suggest the company has increasingly utilized debt financing, including leasing obligations, particularly from 2020 onwards, leading to higher leverage metrics. Despite the rising leverage, the company maintained robust interest coverage initially, although a moderate decline occurred in recent quarters. This pattern may indicate strategic leveraging to finance growth or operations while still managing to sustain a satisfactory capacity to service debt costs.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals several notable trends in the company’s leverage and equity position over the observed periods. The total debt generally increases over time, starting from approximately $832 million at the end of 2018 and rising steadily to reach about $2.5 billion by the first quarter of 2025. This indicates a consistent growth in the company's borrowing or financing through debt instruments.
In contrast, the stockholders’ equity demonstrates a declining pattern after peaking in late 2019 and early 2020. Initially, equity rises from $227.9 million at the end of 2018 to a high near $331 million by the third quarter of 2020. However, post this period, equity declines sharply, entering negative territory by the third quarter of 2021 and continuing to deteriorate thereafter, reaching a negative balance exceeding $1.1 billion by the first quarter of 2025. This decline suggests sustained losses or other factors negatively impacting net assets available to shareholders.
The debt-to-equity ratio shows significant fluctuations and high leverage in some periods. Initially, the ratio declines from 3.65 at the end of 2018 to 2.52 by the third quarter of 2020, indicating a relatively stronger equity base compared to debt. However, by the first quarter of 2021, the debt-to-equity ratio spikes dramatically to 4.32 and then to 8.46, reflecting rising debt relative to shrinking equity. This corresponds with the period when equity becomes negative, rendering the ratio calculation problematic or indicating very high financial risk.
Overall, these patterns suggest the company has been increasing its debt levels substantially while experiencing a weakening equity position, especially from 2021 onward. Increasing leverage combined with negative equity signals elevated financial risk and potential challenges in sustaining solvency without improvements in profitability or capital structure. The trends warrant close monitoring and further analysis of the underlying causes affecting equity erosion and debt growth.
- Total Debt
- Steadily increased from about $832 million in late 2018 to approximately $2.5 billion by early 2025, indicating a trend of growing indebtedness.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Initially increased until mid-2020, peaking near $331 million, but then declined sharply, falling into negative values from late 2021 onwards, reaching a deficit exceeding $1.1 billion by early 2025.
- Debt-to-Equity Ratio
- Decreased from 3.65 to 2.52 through 2020, then spiked above 4 and 8 during early 2021, reflecting rising debt and declining equity, and indicating growing financial leverage and risks.

The analysis of the financial data over the periods reveals significant fluctuations and trends in the company's capital structure and financial leverage.
- Total debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt demonstrated variability across the reported quarters. Initially, the total debt hovered around the 820,000 to 830,000 thousand US$ mark during the end of 2018 and early 2019. A noticeable increase occurred at the end of 2019, reaching approximately 998,683 thousand US$, followed by further increments with some fluctuations through 2020 and 2021. The debt peaked markedly at 1,684,264 thousand US$ by the end of 2021, continuing an upward trend with some oscillations. By the end of the most recent period, the total debt rose further to approximately 2,548,995 thousand US$, indicating an overall growth in the company's liabilities over the observed years.
- Stockholders’ equity (deficit)
- Stockholders’ equity exhibited a declining trend overall. Starting at 227,895 thousand US$ at the end of 2018, equity increased moderately into early 2019 and reached a peak of 331,082 thousand US$ in the third quarter of 2020. However, following that period, equity values declined sharply, turning negative by the end of 2021 at around -110,942 thousand US$. This downward trajectory intensified, deepening into a considerable deficit throughout 2022 and 2023, reaching values beyond -1,138,164 thousand US$ by the first quarter of 2025. This substantial decline signals increasing challenges in net asset value retaining positive equity.
- Debt to equity (including operating lease liability)
- The debt-to-equity ratio displayed considerable volatility, reflective of the movements in both debt and equity figures. Starting at a high ratio of 3.65 at the end of 2018, it decreased steadily through 2019 to reach approximately 2.74 by the third quarter of 2020, suggesting relative improvement in leverage at that time. However, the ratio spiked dramatically to 4.59 by the end of 2020 and increased to 8.92 by mid-2021. Data for the latter periods are absent, but given the continuing increase in total debt combined with the declining and negative equity values, it is inferred that the debt-to-equity ratio likely escalated substantially over the subsequent quarters, indicating elevated financial risk.
Overall, the observable patterns indicate a company that has increased its total liabilities significantly over the examined period while experiencing a steep decline in shareholders’ equity, culminating in substantial deficits. This has resulted in a markedly higher debt-to-equity ratio, implying increased leverage and financial risk. These trends suggest a growing dependence on debt financing and a potential deterioration in financial stability, warranting close monitoring and possibly strategic financial management interventions.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The data reflects the financial structure trends over several years, focusing on total debt, total capital, and the debt to capital ratio.
- Total Debt
- Total debt shows a general upward trend from December 2018 to March 2025. Starting at approximately 832 million USD, it exhibits fluctuations but increases significantly after late 2020, reaching over 2.5 billion USD by early 2025. Notably, there is a sharp rise between September 2021 and March 2022, followed by another steady increase through the end of the observed period.
- Total Capital
- Total capital remains relatively stable with modest fluctuations throughout the period. Beginning near 1.06 billion USD in late 2018, it gradually rises to about 1.16 billion USD by the first quarter of 2020. However, from late 2020 onward, total capital sees variability, peaking in early 2024 at approximately 1.31 billion USD before experiencing a slight dip towards the beginning of 2025. The overall growth trend in capital is modest compared to the growth in total debt.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio indicates a rising leverage trend. Initially around 0.79, it decreases slightly in the first half of 2019. From late 2019 to early 2020, the ratio increases from around 0.74 to 0.82, followed by a decline in late 2020 to approximately 0.72. Thereafter, a marked increase is observed, with the ratio surpassing 1.0 by late 2021 and continuing to rise sharply, reaching 1.89 by early 2025. This indicates that debt levels have grown to exceed total capital, suggesting a heightened reliance on debt financing during the later periods.
Overall, these figures demonstrate that while total capital has seen only moderate growth, total debt has escalated significantly, resulting in a rising debt to capital ratio. This trend points to increased leverage and potentially higher financial risk, emphasizing the need for close monitoring of debt management and capital adequacy moving forward.

The quarterly financial analysis reveals several notable trends concerning the company's debt and capital structure over the observed period.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt exhibited a generally increasing trend from the end of 2018 through early 2025. Starting at approximately 832 million US dollars in December 2018, the debt slightly fluctuated during 2019 but then increased more substantially from late 2019 onward. A sharp rise is particularly noticeable around December 2021, when debt escalated from roughly 1.31 billion to over 1.68 billion US dollars. This upward trajectory continued with some fluctuations, reaching nearly 2.55 billion US dollars by March 2025. This indicates a significant growth in debt obligations over the period, suggesting increased leverage or financing activity by the company.
- Total Capital (including operating lease liability)
- Total capital presented a different pattern. Initially, there was a steady increase from around 1.06 billion US dollars at the end of 2018 to approximately 1.24 billion by late 2019. However, after this peak, capital levels generally declined or remained relatively flat with some volatility. Notably, from late 2020 to the end of 2022, total capital showed a downward trend, decreasing from about 1.26 billion to approximately 1.09 billion US dollars in September 2022. Following this period, capital fluctuated modestly but remained in the range of 1.26 to 1.42 billion US dollars through early 2025. This relatively stagnant or declining capital base, despite rising debt levels, points toward a leverage expansion and possible capital constraints.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The ratio of debt to capital provides further insight into the company's leverage dynamics. During 2018 and 2019, this ratio decreased steadily from 0.79 to 0.74, indicating a modest reduction in relative leverage. However, starting in early 2020, the ratio sharply increased, reaching a peak of 1.74 in mid-2022. This indicates that total debt exceeded total capital, a condition that persisted with some minor declines and rises through early 2025, with the ratio fluctuating between approximately 1.55 and 1.87. The sustained ratios above 1.0 suggest that the company's debt obligations have persistently surpassed its capital base, reflecting high financial leverage and a riskier capital structure.
In summary, the company’s financial structure over the examined period reveals a pronounced increase in total debt against a relatively stable or mildly declining capital base. The substantial increase in the debt to capital ratio confirms the progression to higher leverage levels, which could imply greater financial risk and dependency on debt financing. These trends merit close monitoring to assess potential impacts on financial stability and funding costs.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 2,528,179 ÷ 1,835,753 = 1.38
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt demonstrates an overall increasing trend from December 31, 2018, through March 31, 2025. Initial values start at approximately 832 million US dollars and rise steadily, with some short-term fluctuations. A notable acceleration is observed starting in late 2020, continuing to peak around March 31, 2025, where total debt reaches nearly 2.53 billion US dollars. This represents significant debt growth over the period analyzed.
- Total Assets
- Total assets display a more variable pattern across the same period. From a starting point near 1.31 billion US dollars at the end of 2018, assets generally increase until late 2019 but encounter a decline beginning in late 2020 through late 2021. After this dip, total assets show gradual recovery and growth through to early 2025, attaining a level higher than the initial, around 1.84 billion US dollars. This pattern indicates periods of contraction and expansion in asset base, with recovery noted in the later periods.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio reveals considerable volatility and an overall upward trend during the timeframe. Starting at 0.64 in December 2018, the ratio initially declines to a low of 0.52 around September 2020, indicating a period where asset growth outpaced debt accumulation. Subsequently, the ratio increases sharply, surpassing 1.0 by late 2021, peaking over 1.4 by early 2025. A ratio exceeding 1 indicates that total debt surpasses total assets, suggesting a shift toward higher leverage and potentially increasing financial risk during the latter part of the period.
- Summary Insights
- The data indicates that the company significantly increased its leverage over the analyzed intervals, particularly after 2020, with debt levels rising faster than assets. The peak in the debt to assets ratio above 1.0 signals a critical threshold where liabilities exceed resources, potentially affecting financial stability. The contraction in assets during 2020-2021 coincides with a sharp rise in debt, which may reflect strategic financing decisions or external economic pressures influencing the balance sheet composition. Overall, the trend toward increased leverage warrants careful consideration of the company's risk profile and capital structure management.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends in the company's leverage and asset base over the observed periods.
- Total debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt exhibited a generally increasing trend over time. Starting at approximately $832 million in December 2018, the debt level showed some fluctuations in the early quarters but rose significantly from late 2019 onwards. Notably, the debt peaked above $2.5 billion by the first quarter of 2025, indicating a substantial increase in the company's financial obligations over the period.
- Total assets
- Total assets started at approximately $1.3 billion at the end of 2018 and showed a moderate upward trajectory with some variability throughout the timeline. There was a peak around late 2021 and early 2022, followed by a slight decline and again some recovery in the asset base toward the end of the period. By early 2025, assets reached about $1.8 billion, reflecting moderate overall growth in the company's asset holdings.
- Debt to assets ratio (including operating lease liability)
- This leverage ratio showed significant changes over the timeframe. Initially, the ratio decreased from 0.64 at the end of 2018 to a low of 0.57 in the third quarter of 2020, indicating an improving leverage position relative to assets. However, beginning late 2020, the ratio increased markedly, peaking at 1.37 by mid-2022, signifying that debt levels exceeded total assets at that point, which may raise concerns regarding financial risk. After this peak, the ratio fluctuated but remained above 1.0, ending around 1.39 in the first quarter of 2025. This sustained elevated leverage suggests increased reliance on debt financing relative to asset coverage during the later period.
In summary, the data indicate a substantial increase in indebtedness accompanied by moderate asset growth. The rising debt to assets ratio, particularly the periods where it surpassed 1.0, highlights a trend toward higher financial leverage that may have implications for financial stability and risk profile. The company’s management and stakeholders should be attentive to these developments and consider strategies to manage leverage appropriately going forward.

1 Q2 2025 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity (deficit)
= 1,835,753 ÷ -1,124,052 = —
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The data reveals several notable trends and changes in the financial position over the observed periods.
- Total assets
- The total assets steadily increased from approximately 1,305,626 thousand US dollars at the end of 2018 to a peak of around 1,606,240 thousand US dollars in the third quarter of 2020. After a slight decline toward the end of 2020 and throughout 2021, totaling roughly 1,463,310 thousand US dollars by year-end 2021, the assets resumed a gradual upward trend. By the first quarter of 2025, total assets reached about 1,835,753 thousand US dollars, demonstrating overall growth despite some periods of stagnation or minor decreases.
- Stockholders' equity (deficit)
- The stockholders' equity displayed a significant shift over the timeframe. Initially, it increased from 227,895 to a high of 331,082 thousand US dollars by the third quarter of 2020. From late 2020 onward, equity sharply deteriorated, flipping into a deficit by the third quarter of 2021 at -110,942 thousand US dollars. This negative trend continued, extending the deficit to larger magnitudes and reaching a low of approximately -1,138,164 thousand US dollars by the first quarter of 2025. This reflects a substantial erosion of equity, indicative of rising liabilities or losses exceeding assets.
- Financial leverage
- Financial leverage, calculated as a ratio, started at 5.73 at the end of 2018, decreased to a low of 4.85 by the third quarter of 2020, and then spiked to 7.07 in the first quarter of 2021. Following this, no numerical data was provided, but the trend before the data ends suggests fluctuating leverage with critical increases aligned with the declining equity, implying greater reliance on debt or liabilities relative to equity.
Overall, the trends point to steady asset growth tempered by a severe decline in shareholders' equity, resulting in negative equity positions in recent periods. The rising financial leverage concurrent with declining equity suggests increasing financial risk. This pattern indicates potential challenges in capital structure and solvency that merit close monitoring moving forward.

- Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT values exhibit noticeable fluctuations and an overall upward trajectory over the observed periods. Starting from 46,832 thousand US dollars at the end of 2018, EBIT experienced a significant increase reaching 88,165 thousand by mid-2019. This was followed by a decline to levels around 50,000 to 70,000 thousand US dollars in late 2019 and early 2020. From mid-2020 onward, EBIT generally trended upward with some volatility, peaking notably at 198,827 thousand in the first quarter of 2024 before slightly declining in subsequent quarters but maintaining high levels, ending at 244,394 thousand US dollars by the first quarter of 2025. This pattern suggests periods of growth interspersed with short-term variability, with a strong positive momentum in recent quarters.
- Interest expense, net
- The interest expense demonstrated a consistent and gradual increase over the entire timeframe. Starting at 9,676 thousand US dollars at the end of 2018, it rose steadily to reach 31,378 thousand US dollars by the first quarter of 2025. No significant dips or reversals are observed, indicating possibly increasing debt levels or higher cost of debt financing over time. This increment in interest expense contrasts with the generally increasing EBIT, suggesting that while operational earnings are growing, financing costs are also rising, which may affect net profitability if not managed carefully.
- Interest coverage ratio
- The interest coverage ratio, calculated as EBIT divided by interest expense, exhibits considerable variability but maintains a relatively strong overall level. Data starts at an inferred ratio of around 6.44 in mid-2019, showing a rising trend to a peak of 12.8 around the first quarter of 2021. This indicates improved ability to cover interest obligations during that period. However, following this peak, the ratio declines steadily to values around 6.67 to 7.08 in the later periods, reflecting the impact of increasing interest expenses and fluctuating EBIT. Despite this decline from the peak, the ratio remains above 6 consistently, implying a generally healthy position in terms of meeting interest payments. The trends suggest that while EBIT growth has strengthened coverage temporarily, rising interest costs have moderated this improvement over time.
- Overall insights
- The data presents a scenario where operational earnings (EBIT) have notably increased, indicating improving business profitability and operational efficiency. However, the rising net interest expense points to growing financing costs, which could stem from increased borrowing or less favorable borrowing terms. The interest coverage ratio, despite some fluctuations, consistently remains at levels indicating sufficiency in covering interest obligations, though the declining trend after 2021 warrants attention to debt management and interest cost control. Monitoring these dynamics will be crucial for sustaining financial health in future periods.
