The capital structure underwent a significant transformation between 2018 and 2022, characterized by a period of increased leverage peaking in 2020, followed by a gradual trend toward deleveraging and equity recovery.

Total Liabilities and Debt Composition
Total liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity rose from 49.20% in 2018 to a peak of 66.34% in 2020. This increase was primarily driven by long-term debt, excluding the current portion, which climbed from 30.82% in 2018 to 44.03% in 2020. Following this peak, total liabilities declined to 60.84% by 2022, with long-term debt stabilizing at 38.16%.
Equity Dynamics and Retained Earnings
Total equity exhibited an inverse trend to liabilities, decreasing from 50.80% in 2018 to a low of 33.66% in 2020, before recovering to 39.16% in 2022. The most significant volatility occurred within retained earnings, which plummeted from 19.86% in 2018 to 0.69% in 2020. A gradual recovery in retained earnings is observed in subsequent years, reaching 6.79% by the end of 2022. Capital in excess of par value remained a relatively stable component of equity, fluctuating between 25.13% and 30.20% over the five-year period.
Current Liabilities and Liquidity Obligations
Current liabilities remained relatively low as a proportion of the total balance sheet, ranging from 8.62% to 14.94%. A temporary spike occurred in 2021, driven largely by an increase in taxes payable (2.57%) and the current portion of long-term debt (2.52%). Accrued liabilities remained consistently between 6.65% and 8.48%, providing a stable baseline for short-term obligations.
Long-Term Obligations and Other Credits
Asset retirement obligations showed a steady upward trend from 3.46% in 2018 to a peak of 4.90% in 2021, before settling at 4.77% in 2022. Deferred income taxes remained remarkably constant, hovering around 1.9% throughout the period. Noncontrolling interests saw a gradual decline from 5.87% in 2018 to 2.95% in 2022.
Comprehensive Loss Impact
Accumulated other comprehensive loss widened from -1.43% in 2018 to -4.01% in 2020. However, a consistent recovery followed, with the loss narrowing to -0.60% by December 31, 2022, suggesting a positive reversal in the underlying valuations or currency impacts affecting the comprehensive income.
