The financial data reveals notable trends in the company's leverage and equity position over the analyzed period. Long-term debt and finance lease obligations increased overall, with fluctuations reflecting periods of both growth and stabilization.
- Long-term debt and obligations
- From 2005 to 2012, the long-term debt generally increased, peaking in 2012 at approximately 8,111 million USD. Afterward, there was a decline followed by subsequent fluctuations, with values remaining above 6,000 million USD through 2022. The peak followed by relative stabilization suggests strategic debt management or refinancing activities.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Equity showed consistent growth from 2005 through 2013, reaching a maximum of nearly 24,720 million USD. However, from 2013 onwards, equity experienced a sustained decline, bottoming out around 5,366 million USD in 2020 before a modest recovery to 7,855 million USD in 2022. This downturn indicates possible asset write-downs, losses, or dividend payments exceeding earnings during these years.
- Debt to equity ratio
- The ratio decreased steadily from 0.6 in 2005 to a low of 0.23 in 2013, reflecting stronger equity growth relative to debt or effective leverage control. Post-2013, the ratio rose sharply, peaking at 1.59 in 2020, signaling increased leverage primarily driven by declining equity and sustained high debt levels. The ratio then moderately decreased to 1.08 by 2022, perhaps indicating some improvements in equity or debt reduction efforts.
Overall, the trends point toward a phase of robust equity accumulation in the first half of the period, improving the company’s financial strength and reducing leverage. Subsequently, the company faced challenges that eroded equity while maintaining or increasing long-term debt, leading to heightened leverage levels and increased financial risk. The recent slight improvements in equity and leverage ratios may reflect early signs of stabilization or recovery efforts.
