Solvency ratios also known as long-term debt ratios measure a company ability to meet long-term obligations.
Solvency Ratios (Summary)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31).
A comprehensive review of the solvency ratios indicates a consistent trend toward deleveraging and a strengthening of the long-term financial position from early 2022 through mid-2026. The overall risk profile has shifted downward as the reliance on debt relative to equity, capital, and assets has decreased steadily over the observed period.
- Debt-to-Equity and Debt-to-Capital Trends
- The debt-to-equity ratio experienced an initial increase to a peak of 0.74 in June 2022, followed by a sustained decline to 0.47 by June 2026. A similar trajectory is observed in the debt-to-capital ratio, which peaked at 0.43 in June 2022 and gradually compressed to 0.32 by the end of the period. The inclusion of operating lease liabilities results in only marginal variances, suggesting that lease obligations do not significantly alter the fundamental solvency trajectory.
- Asset-Based Solvency and Leverage
- The debt-to-assets ratio exhibits a stable downward trend, moving from 0.20 in March 2022 to 0.16 by June 2026. This indicates that a smaller proportion of the total asset base is financed through debt over time. This is further supported by the financial leverage ratio, which declined from a high of 3.37 in June 2022 to 2.97 by June 2026, reflecting a reduction in the company's use of debt to finance its assets.
- Interest Coverage and Debt Service Capacity
- The interest coverage ratio demonstrates higher volatility compared to the balance sheet ratios, though it remains robust throughout the period. A decline was noted from 16.40 in March 2022 to a low of 9.73 in June 2023. Subsequently, a strong recovery occurred, with the ratio peaking at 24.48 in June 2025 before moderating to 16.63 by June 2026. Despite these fluctuations, the ratio remains comfortably above levels that would suggest a risk of default, indicating a strong capacity to meet interest obligations from operating earnings.
In summary, the financial structure has transitioned toward a more conservative posture. The simultaneous reduction in leverage ratios and the maintenance of a high interest coverage ratio suggest an improved credit profile and enhanced long-term financial stability.

- Total Asset Growth
- A sustained upward trajectory in total assets is observed, rising from 48,832 million US$ in March 2022 to 59,727 million US$ by June 2026. This growth represents a steady expansion of the company's resource base, with the most significant acceleration occurring between December 2024 and June 2026.
- Stockholders’ Equity Expansion
- Equity demonstrates a consistent positive trend, increasing from 14,866 million US$ in March 2022 to 20,109 million US$ in June 2026. The growth in equity has been persistent across nearly every quarter, suggesting a strong accumulation of retained earnings or capital contributions.
- Financial Leverage Ratio Trend
- The financial leverage ratio exhibits a general downward trend, declining from a peak of 3.37 in June 2022 to a period low of 2.97 by June 2026.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Interest coverage
= (EBITQ2 2026
+ EBITQ1 2026
+ EBITQ4 2025
+ EBITQ3 2025)
÷ (Interest expenseQ2 2026
+ Interest expenseQ1 2026
+ Interest expenseQ4 2025
+ Interest expenseQ3 2025)
= (2,030 + 2,154 + 877 + 2,023)
÷ (95 + 114 + 110 + 107)
= 16.63
The interest coverage ratio exhibits significant volatility over the analyzed period, reflecting fluctuations in operating earnings and a strategic reduction in interest obligations. Despite periodic declines, the ratio remains consistently high, indicating a robust capacity to meet interest payments from operating profits.
- Interest Coverage Ratio Trends
- The ratio began at 16.40 in March 2022, experiencing a downward trend to a low of 9.73 by June 2023. A strong recovery followed, with the ratio climbing steadily through 2024 and peaking at 24.48 in June 2025. Following this peak, a gradual decline is observed, settling at 16.63 by June 2026. The overall movement suggests a period of strengthened solvency between 2024 and 2025.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) Dynamics
- EBIT demonstrates substantial quarterly variance, which serves as the primary driver for the volatility in the coverage ratio. Significant troughs are noted in September 2022 (US$ 1,015 million) and December 2025 (US$ 877 million). Conversely, peaks occurred in March 2022 (US$ 2,855 million) and June 2025 (US$ 2,479 million). These fluctuations indicate a cyclical earnings pattern that impacts the margin of safety for debt servicing.
- Net Interest Expense Evolution
- A notable downward trend in net interest expenses is observable from mid-2022 through 2024. Expenses decreased from a peak of US$ 171 million in June 2023 to a low of US$ 70 million by December 2023 and March 2024. This reduction in the cost of debt played a critical role in elevating the interest coverage ratio during 2024, as the company required less EBIT to maintain high coverage levels. A slight upward adjustment in interest costs is observed throughout 2025, peaking at US$ 114 million in December 2025.
- Solvency Analysis
- The convergence of minimized interest expenses and recovered EBIT levels in 2024 and early 2025 resulted in the highest solvency metrics of the period, with the ratio remaining above 20.00 for five consecutive quarters. Although the ratio contracted in late 2025 and early 2026, the levels remain well above typical risk thresholds, suggesting that the company maintains a comfortable cushion against potential earnings downturns.
