The solvency profile reveals a distinct transition characterized by increasing financial leverage paired with a substantial improvement in the capacity to service debt obligations. While the company has increased its reliance on debt relative to equity, the operational ability to cover interest expenses has strengthened significantly over the analyzed period.
- Debt-to-Equity and Debt-to-Capital Trends
- The debt to equity ratio exhibited volatility, initially declining from 0.86 in March 2022 to a low of 0.70 by June 2023. However, a reversal occurred in mid-2024, with the ratio rising and stabilizing between 1.06 and 1.12 through September 2026. In parallel, the debt to capital ratio remained relatively narrow, fluctuating between 0.41 and 0.53, indicating a consistent overall capital structure despite the shifts in equity valuation or debt issuance.
- Asset Backing and Financial Leverage
- The debt to assets ratio remained remarkably stable throughout the period, maintaining a range between 0.13 and 0.18, which suggests that the proportion of assets financed by debt has remained constant. Conversely, financial leverage shows a steady upward trajectory, increasing from 4.92 in March 2022 to 7.26 by September 2026, reflecting a gradual increase in the use of debt to amplify potential returns on assets.
- Interest Coverage and Debt Servicing
- A significant reversal is observed in the interest coverage ratio. The period began with negative values, reaching -1.66 in September 2022, signaling an inability to cover interest expenses from operating income. A sharp recovery began in early 2023, with the ratio climbing rapidly to peak at 12.86 in December 2025 before settling at 12.51 in September 2026. This trend indicates a dramatic improvement in profitability and a greatly enhanced margin of safety for debt servicing.
In summary, the increase in financial leverage and the debt-to-equity ratio has not compromised the organization's solvency. Instead, the simultaneous and aggressive expansion of the interest coverage ratio suggests that the additional leverage is well-supported by a substantial increase in earnings capacity.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 19,326 ÷ 17,522 = 1.10
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits a distinct shift in capital structure between early 2022 and late 2026, characterized by an initial phase of deleveraging followed by a period of increased financial leverage.
- Total Debt Trajectory
- A significant reduction in total debt is observed starting in early 2023, where levels dropped from approximately 32.35 billion USD in December 2022 to 22.42 billion USD in March 2023. Following this sharp decline, debt levels remained relatively stable, oscillating between 18.89 billion USD and 20.96 billion USD through the remainder of the period, indicating a sustained effort to maintain a lower absolute debt load.
- Shareholders' Equity Volatility
- Shareholders' equity experienced a consistent downward trend over the analyzed timeframe. A notable contraction occurred between March 2024 and June 2024, with equity falling from 29.86 billion USD to 18.60 billion USD. This reduction in the equity base continued gradually, reaching a low of 17.52 billion USD by June 2026, which fundamentally altered the company's solvency ratios despite the reduction in total debt.
- Debt to Equity Ratio Analysis
- The debt to equity ratio demonstrates a two-phase movement. From March 2022 to March 2024, the ratio generally improved or remained below 1.0, reaching a period of relative strength between March 2023 and March 2024 where it fluctuated between 0.69 and 0.77. However, a structural pivot occurred in June 2024, when the ratio rose to 1.06. For the subsequent period ending September 2026, the ratio remained consistently above 1.0, peaking at 1.12 in March 2026, indicating that total debt now exceeds shareholders' equity.
The convergence of decreasing equity and stabilized debt levels has resulted in a higher reliance on debt financing relative to equity. While the absolute amount of debt is lower than in 2022, the erosion of the equity base has increased the overall leverage ratio, shifting the solvency position from a conservative posture to a more leveraged one.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 19,326 ÷ 36,848 = 0.52
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile of the organization exhibits a significant structural reduction in both total debt and total capital over the analyzed period, though the relationship between these two components has shifted. A transition is observed from a higher absolute capital base with lower relative leverage to a leaner capital structure with a higher debt-to-capital ratio.
- Total Debt Trends
- A consistent downward trajectory in total debt is evident, beginning at 33,634 million USD in March 2022 and declining to 19,326 million USD by September 2026. A substantial reduction occurred between December 2022 and March 2023, where debt levels dropped from 32,350 million USD to 22,421 million USD. Following this period, debt levels stabilized, fluctuating within a narrow range between approximately 18,800 million USD and 20,900 million USD.
- Total Capital Contraction
- Total capital experienced a more pronounced contraction than total debt. Starting at 72,639 million USD in March 2022, the capital base decreased steadily to 48,342 million USD by December 2023. A sharp decline is noted between March 2024 and June 2024, where capital fell from 50,380 million USD to 38,271 million USD. For the remainder of the period, total capital remained relatively stagnant, ending at 36,848 million USD in September 2026.
- Debt to Capital Ratio Dynamics
- The debt to capital ratio demonstrates a non-linear trend. From March 2022 through March 2024, the ratio generally trended downward or remained stable, reaching a low of 0.41. However, starting in June 2024, the ratio shifted upward to the 0.50 to 0.53 range. This increase in the ratio, despite the absolute decrease in total debt, is attributable to the more aggressive reduction in the total capital base, which effectively increased the proportion of debt relative to total capital.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 19,326 ÷ 127,195 = 0.15
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile reflects a strategic reduction in both total debt and total assets over the period from March 2022 to September 2026. While both metrics experienced overall declines, the resulting debt-to-assets ratio remained within a narrow band, indicating a disciplined approach to leverage management despite significant balance sheet contractions.
- Total Debt Trajectory
- A consistent downward trend in total debt is observed, decreasing from 33,634 million USD in March 2022 to 19,326 million USD by September 2026. A substantial reduction occurred between December 2022 and March 2023, where debt fell by approximately 9,929 million USD. Following this period, debt levels exhibited relative stability, fluctuating between 18,887 million USD and 20,964 million USD through 2024 and 2025.
- Total Assets Evolution
- Total assets decreased from 191,961 million USD in March 2022 to 127,195 million USD in September 2026. The most significant contraction is noted between March 2024 and June 2024, where assets dropped from 163,942 million USD to 123,190 million USD. Subsequent quarters show a stabilized asset base, maintaining a range between 123,140 million USD and 130,169 million USD.
- Debt to Assets Ratio Analysis
- The debt-to-assets ratio initially declined from 0.18 in the first quarter of 2022 to a low of 0.13 by mid-2023, reflecting a period where debt reduction outpaced asset contraction. However, the sharp decrease in total assets in the second quarter of 2024 led to a correction in the ratio, which rose to 0.16. For the remainder of the period, the ratio stabilized between 0.15 and 0.16, suggesting a consistent leverage target relative to the current asset structure.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 127,195 ÷ 17,522 = 7.26
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
Analysis reveals a progressive increase in financial leverage over the observed period, indicating a shift in the capital structure toward a higher proportion of debt relative to equity.
- Asset and Equity Dynamics
- A consistent contraction in both total assets and shareholders' equity is evident. Total assets decreased from 191,961 million USD in March 2022 to 127,195 million USD by September 2026. Shareholders' equity experienced a more pronounced decline, falling from 39,005 million USD to 17,522 million USD over the same timeframe. A significant reduction occurred between March 2024 and June 2024, where assets dropped by approximately 40,752 million USD and equity decreased by 11,257 million USD, suggesting a substantial restructuring or divestment event during that period.
- Financial Leverage Ratio Trends
- The financial leverage ratio exhibits a sustained upward trajectory, rising from 4.92 in March 2022 to 7.26 by September 2026. The ratio remained relatively contained between 4.92 and 5.96 through December 2023. However, a sharp escalation is observed starting in June 2024, when the ratio jumped to 6.62. From that point forward, the leverage ratio continued a steady climb, exceeding 7.0 by March 2026 and reaching its peak of 7.26 by September 2026.
- Solvency Interpretation
- The widening of the leverage ratio is a direct result of shareholders' equity declining at a faster proportional rate than total assets. This trend indicates a growing reliance on external financing to support the asset base. The increase from 4.92 to 7.26 suggests a reduction in the equity cushion, which typically correlates with higher financial risk and increased sensitivity to fluctuations in debt servicing costs.

The financial trajectory demonstrates a significant transition from initial operating instability to a robust solvency position. The period is characterized by a shift from negative earnings coverage to a substantial margin of safety, reflecting both increased operational profitability and a reduction in financial obligations.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- A period of volatility and rapid recovery is observed between March 2022 and March 2023, with EBIT moving from a deficit of 119 million to a peak of 6.76 billion. Following this peak, earnings stabilized and maintained a consistent upward trajectory, fluctuating between 1.69 billion and 3.04 billion through September 2026.
- Interest and Other Financial Charges
- Financial charges showed a marked decline starting in early 2023. Initial costs, which hovered around 400 million throughout 2022, were reduced to a range between 210 million and 296 million by 2024. A further low of 158 million was recorded in June 2025, before charges stabilized between 215 million and 250 million in the final periods.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The coverage ratio experienced a sharp reversal, moving from negative values in 2022 to 1.88 by December 2022. After a temporary decline to 6.11 in March 2024, the ratio entered a sustained growth phase, consistently remaining above 12.00 from June 2025 through September 2026. This trend indicates a significantly improved capacity to service debt from operational cash flows.
