1 US$ in millions
- Total Debt
-
The total debt shows significant fluctuation over the observed period. It increased sharply from 5,223 million USD in 2005 to a peak of 30,634 million USD in 2011. After reaching this maximum, the total debt generally declined to 5,987 million USD by 2018, with some intermittent increases notably in 2015. This pattern indicates an initial phase of aggressive debt accumulation followed by a period of substantial deleveraging.
- Total HP Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
-
Stockholders’ equity remained relatively stable between 37,176 million USD and 40,517 million USD from 2005 to 2010. Subsequently, it experienced a sharp decline starting in 2011, dropping dramatically to a deficit position by 2016 and remaining negative through 2018. This downward trend reflects significant erosion of equity, possibly related to financial restructuring, losses, or other factors impacting book value.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
-
The debt to equity ratio increased from a low of 0.14 in 2005 and 2006 to a high of 1.27 in 2012, indicating rising leverage relative to equity during this period. Following this peak, the ratio showed some decline, falling to around 0.73 by 2014 but rising again to 0.89 in 2015. Data for subsequent years are missing, likely due to the equity deficit status impacting the meaningfulness of this metric. Overall, rising leverage corresponded with declining equity, underscoring increased financial risk over time.
