The solvency profile exhibits a transition from a period of financial instability and negative interest coverage to a state of robust operational capacity and increased leverage. While the company has incrementally expanded its debt load relative to equity and overall assets, the capacity to service this debt has improved substantially over the observed period.
- Debt Utilization Ratios
- Debt to equity levels fluctuated between 0.86 and 0.70 through early 2023 before shifting upward to a range between 1.00 and 1.12 from mid-2024 onward. Similarly, the debt to capital ratio remained relatively stable, moving from 0.46 in early 2022 to a peak of 0.53 by September 2025. The debt to assets ratio demonstrated the highest level of stability, maintaining a narrow corridor between 0.13 and 0.18, suggesting a consistent approach to asset-backed financing.
- Financial Leverage
- A consistent upward trend in financial leverage is observed, rising from 4.92 in March 2022 to 7.24 by June 2026. A notable acceleration in this trend occurred between March 2024 and June 2024, where the ratio jumped from 5.49 to 6.62, indicating an increased reliance on borrowed funds to amplify potential returns on assets.
- Interest Coverage and Debt Serviceability
- The most significant shift is observed in the interest coverage ratio. The company began the period with negative coverage, ranging from -1.49 to -1.66, indicating an inability to meet interest obligations from operating earnings. A pivot occurred in December 2022, leading to a strong upward trajectory. Coverage ratios rose from 6.73 in March 2023 to a peak of 12.86 in December 2025, before stabilizing around 12.27. This indicates a dramatic improvement in profitability relative to interest expenses, effectively offsetting the risks associated with the increasing financial leverage.
In summary, the solvency position is characterized by a strategic increase in leverage accompanied by a powerful recovery in earnings. The expansion of debt-to-equity and financial leverage ratios is well-supported by the substantial growth in interest coverage, reducing the overall risk of insolvency despite a larger debt footprint.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 19,157 ÷ 17,640 = 1.09
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits a distinct shift in capital structure beginning in the second quarter of 2024. While there has been a sustained reduction in total debt over the analyzed period, a significant contraction in shareholders' equity has fundamentally altered the leverage ratio, transitioning the entity from a position of lower relative leverage to one where debt exceeds equity.
- Total Debt Trends
- A consistent downward trend in total debt is observed, decreasing from 33,634 million US$ in March 2022 to 19,157 million US$ by June 2026. After a period of gradual decline through 2022 and a sharp drop in early 2023, the debt level stabilized, fluctuating within a narrow range between approximately 18,800 million US$ and 20,900 million US$ from March 2023 onwards.
- Shareholders' Equity Analysis
- Equity levels experienced moderate volatility between March 2022 and March 2024, remaining primarily between 27,000 million US$ and 39,000 million US$. A substantial reduction occurred in June 2024, where equity dropped from 29,855 million US$ to 18,598 million US$. Following this event, equity levels remained relatively flat with a slight downward drift, concluding at 17,640 million US$ in June 2026.
- Debt to Equity Ratio Interpretation
- The debt to equity ratio remained below the 1.00 threshold from March 2022 through March 2024, reaching a period low of 0.69. The contraction in equity in June 2024 caused the ratio to pivot sharply to 1.06. For the remainder of the observation period, the ratio consistently remained at or above 1.00, peaking at 1.12 in March 2026. This indicates that the increase in leverage is driven by the reduction of the equity base rather than an increase in total debt.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 19,157 ÷ 36,797 = 0.52
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits three distinct phases: a period of moderate leverage, a significant deleveraging event in early 2023, and a structural capital adjustment in mid-2024 that resulted in a higher baseline ratio.
- Total Debt Trends
- Total debt experienced a substantial overall reduction from a peak of 33,634 million USD in March 2022 to 19,157 million USD by June 2026. A primary contraction occurred between December 2022 and March 2023, where debt levels fell by approximately 9,929 million USD. Following this event, debt levels remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range between 18,887 million USD and 20,964 million USD through the end of the period.
- Total Capital Adjustments
- Total capital showed a consistent downward trajectory, starting at 72,639 million USD in March 2022 and concluding at 36,797 million USD in June 2026. Significant reductions are observed in March 2023 and again in June 2024; in the latter instance, total capital decreased from 50,380 million USD to 38,271 million USD, representing a sharp contraction of the capital base.
- Debt to Capital Ratio Analysis
- The debt to capital ratio fluctuated between 0.41 and 0.53. The ratio initially trended between 0.46 and 0.49 during 2022 before declining to a low of 0.41 in March 2023 and June 2023. A structural shift occurred in June 2024, where the ratio climbed to 0.51. This increase was driven primarily by the reduction in total capital rather than an increase in total debt. For the remainder of the period, the ratio stabilized at a higher plateau, peaking at 0.53 in March 2026 and September 2025.

The solvency profile demonstrates a general trend of deleveraging and asset base optimization over the analyzed period. The debt-to-assets ratio remained consistently low, fluctuating within a narrow range between 0.13 and 0.18, indicating a conservative approach to financial leverage and a strong solvency position.
- Total Debt Trends
- A consistent downward trajectory in total debt is observed, decreasing from 33,634 million US$ in March 2022 to 19,157 million US$ by June 2026. The most pronounced reduction occurred between December 2022 and March 2023, marking a shift toward a lower debt ceiling. From 2023 through 2026, total debt stabilized, maintaining a range between approximately 19 billion and 21 billion US$.
- Total Asset Evolution
- The total asset base experienced a significant contraction over the period. Assets declined from 191,961 million US$ in March 2022 to a stabilized range around 127,000 million US$ by mid-2026. A notable sharp decline occurred between March 2024 and June 2024, where total assets dropped from 163,942 million US$ to 123,190 million US$, suggesting a major structural change or divestiture.
- Debt to Assets Ratio Analysis
- The ratio initially improved, falling from 0.18 in early 2022 to a minimum of 0.13 between June 2023 and March 2024. This improvement was driven by the reduction in total debt outpacing the decline in assets. Following June 2024, the ratio shifted upward to stabilize between 0.15 and 0.16. This secondary increase is not the result of rising debt—which remained stable—but is rather a mathematical consequence of the substantial reduction in the total asset base during the second quarter of 2024.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 127,672 ÷ 17,640 = 7.24
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial solvency profile exhibits a consistent increase in financial leverage over the analyzed period, driven by a simultaneous contraction in the total asset base and a significant reduction in shareholders' equity. While total assets and equity both declined, the pace of equity reduction outstripped the reduction in assets, resulting in a higher dependency on liabilities to fund operations.
- Total Asset Trends
- A general downward trajectory is observed in total assets, decreasing from 191,961 million US$ in March 2022 to 127,672 million US$ by June 2026. A notable sharp contraction occurred between March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, where assets fell from 163,942 million US$ to 123,190 million US$. Following this period, the asset base remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range between 123,140 million US$ and 130,169 million US$.
- Shareholders' Equity Erosion
- Shareholders' equity experienced a persistent decline throughout the period, starting at 39,005 million US$ in March 2022 and ending at 17,640 million US$ in June 2026. Similar to the asset trend, a substantial drop is evident in the second quarter of 2024, with equity falling from 29,855 million US$ to 18,598 million US$. From mid-2024 onward, equity levels plateaued with a slight continuing downward drift.
- Financial Leverage Progression
- The financial leverage ratio demonstrates a steady upward trend, rising from 4.92 in March 2022 to 7.24 by June 2026. The ratio remained relatively stable between 4.92 and 5.96 through 2022 and 2023. However, the period beginning June 30, 2024, marked a shift to a higher leverage regime, with the ratio jumping to 6.62 and continuing to climb steadily each quarter thereafter. This progression indicates an increasing proportion of debt relative to equity in the capital structure.

The financial trajectory from March 2022 through June 2026 demonstrates a significant transition from a position of financial vulnerability to one of robust solvency. Initial periods were characterized by an inability to cover interest obligations from operating earnings, followed by a sharp recovery and a sustained period of high interest coverage.
- Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) Performance
- Operating earnings exhibited a volatile but upward trajectory. After starting in negative territory at -119 million USD in March 2022, EBIT grew rapidly, peaking at 6,761 million USD by March 2023. Following this peak, earnings stabilized, fluctuating between approximately 1,600 million USD and 3,100 million USD throughout the remaining periods, indicating a consistent capacity to generate operating profit.
- Interest and Other Financial Charges Trends
- A general reduction in financial charges is observed over the analyzed timeframe. Costs began at a high of 406 million USD in March 2022 and trended downward to a low of 158 million USD by June 2025. This decline in interest expenses has contributed positively to the overall solvency profile by reducing the quarterly cash outflow required for debt servicing.
- Interest Coverage Ratio Analysis
- The interest coverage ratio reflects a profound shift in solvency. Between March 2022 and September 2022, the ratio remained negative, signaling that EBIT was insufficient to meet interest obligations. A pivotal turnaround occurred in December 2022, where the ratio turned positive at 1.88. The ratio then accelerated sharply, reaching 10.12 by December 2023. Despite a brief moderation in the first half of 2024, the ratio climbed again, peaking at 12.86 in December 2025 and maintaining a level above 12.0 through June 2026. This trend indicates a substantial increase in the margin of safety for meeting financial obligations.
