- Debt to equity ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibits a consistent downward trend over the analyzed periods, starting at 1.00 in the first quarter of 2019 and declining to 0.53 by the third quarter of 2023. This indicates a gradual reduction in reliance on debt financing relative to equity, suggesting a strengthening equity base or reduced leverage.
- Debt to capital ratio
- This ratio shows a similar decreasing trajectory, moving from 0.50 in March 2019 to 0.35 in September 2023. The steady decline reflects a reduction in overall debt as a proportion of total capital, aligning with the observed decrease in debt to equity and indicating improved capitalization.
- Debt to assets ratio
- The debt to assets ratio follows the downward trend, decreasing from 0.36 in early 2019 to 0.25 by the latest period. This reduction suggests a smaller portion of assets financed through debt, enhancing the financial stability and asset coverage.
- Financial leverage ratio
- Financial leverage also trends downward, from 2.75 in March 2019 to 2.11 in September 2023. A declining financial leverage ratio reflects a lower total asset base funded by equity, indicating a more conservative capital structure over time.
- Interest coverage ratio
- The interest coverage ratio demonstrates a notable upward trend, rising significantly from 7.74 in the first quarter of 2019 to 25.23 in the third quarter of 2023. This substantial increase indicates enhanced ability to meet interest obligations from operating earnings, reflective of improved profitability or reduced interest expenses.

The financial data reveals several key trends regarding the company's debt, equity, and leverage from the first quarter of 2019 through the third quarter of 2023.
- Total Debt
- Over the analyzed period, total debt demonstrated fluctuations but exhibited an overall decline. Beginning at approximately $1.81 billion in early 2019, debt decreased noticeably by the end of 2019 before experiencing moderate increases and decreases throughout 2020 and 2021. Since early 2022, total debt has remained relatively stable, hovering around $1.44 billion, indicating a plateau in debt accumulation or repayment activities.
- Total Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity showed a consistent upward trend during the entire period. Starting around $1.81 billion in early 2019, equity progressively increased within each quarter. By the third quarter of 2023, it had risen to nearly $2.74 billion, reflecting steady growth in retained earnings, capital contributions, or asset revaluations that enhance net worth.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio exhibited a clear declining trend across the quarters analyzed. From a ratio of 1.00 at the beginning of 2019, the leverage steadily reduced, reaching approximately 0.53 by the third quarter of 2023. This indicates reduced reliance on debt financing relative to equity, suggesting improved financial stability, lower leverage risk, or strategic deleveraging efforts.
In summary, the company has progressively strengthened its equity base while controlling or reducing its debt levels after some volatility. The consistent decrease in the debt to equity ratio points toward a more conservative capital structure over time, signaling potential risk mitigation and enhanced financial resilience.

Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 1,443,000 ÷ 4,182,100 = 0.35
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data over multiple quarters indicates a generally stable to improving leverage position for the company. The total debt shows fluctuations but remains largely within a relatively narrow range between approximately $1.44 billion and $1.8 billion. There is a noticeable decline in total debt from early 2019 to late 2020, followed by a stabilization around the $1.44 billion mark through 2022 and into 2023.
Total capital figures have exhibited a gradual upward trend over the period analyzed. Starting from about $3.62 billion in early 2019, total capital trends upwards consistently, reaching approximately $4.18 billion by the third quarter of 2023. This steady increase reflects growth in the company’s capital base.
Correspondingly, the debt to capital ratio demonstrates an improving leverage profile. The ratio decreases from 0.50 in the first quarter of 2019 to 0.35 by the third quarter of 2023. This gradual reduction suggests that the company has been lowering its reliance on debt relative to its total capital, indicating a stronger capital structure with potentially less financial risk.
In summary, the company appears to be managing its capital structure prudently by maintaining or slightly reducing debt levels while steadily increasing total capital. This has resulted in a consistent lowering of the debt to capital ratio, reflecting a positive trend towards enhanced financial stability over the periods analyzed.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several important trends regarding the company's leverage and asset base over the monitored periods.
- Total Debt
- Total debt exhibits a general downward trend from March 2019 to September 2023. Starting at approximately 1,808,800 thousand US dollars, it fluctuates moderately but gradually decreases to roughly 1,443,000 thousand US dollars by the latest quarter. Notably, there is a significant reduction from mid-2019 to late 2020, followed by relative stability with minor variations through 2023.
- Total Assets
- Total assets show a generally increasing trend over the analyzed timeframe. Beginning near 4,976,100 thousand US dollars in March 2019, assets experience minor fluctuations but steadily rise to reach around 5,768,300 thousand US dollars by September 2023. The data reflects progressive asset growth, with some temporary dips, especially evident around late 2019 and early 2022, but the overall trajectory is upward.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt to assets ratio decreases progressively from 0.36 in March 2019 to 0.25 by the third quarter of 2023. This decline suggests an improvement in financial leverage and solvency, as total debt declines relative to the expanding asset base. The ratio drops notably in late 2019 and maintains a generally downward path with minor fluctuations, indicating the company is reducing its indebtedness proportionally to its asset growth.
In summary, the company has reduced its total debt levels moderately over the examined quarters while successfully growing its asset base, resulting in a consistent reduction in the debt to assets ratio. This suggests a strengthening financial position with improved balance sheet stability and lower financial risk exposure over time.

Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total Hubbell Incorporated shareholders’ equity
= 5,768,300 ÷ 2,739,100 = 2.11
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total assets
- The total assets showed a generally stable trend from March 2019 through December 2020, fluctuating slightly around the 4.9 to 5.1 million USD range. Starting from the end of 2020, there was a clear upward trajectory in total assets, rising steadily each quarter and reaching approximately 5.77 million USD by September 2023. This indicates consistent asset growth over the last nearly three years, reflecting possible expansion or accumulation of resources.
- Total Hubbell Incorporated shareholders’ equity
- Shareholders' equity demonstrated a gradual increase over the entire period. Beginning at about 1.81 million USD in March 2019, equity rose steadily with minor fluctuations, surpassing the 2.7 million USD mark by September 2023. The upward trend appeared particularly more pronounced from early 2021 onward, suggesting ongoing profitability, retained earnings growth, or capital injections supporting shareholder value creation.
- Financial leverage
- The financial leverage ratio experienced a clear downward trend throughout the period analyzed. Starting at 2.75 in March 2019, the ratio steadily decreased, reaching 2.11 by September 2023. This decline indicates a reduction in the company's use of debt relative to equity over time, possibly reflecting deleveraging efforts or stronger equity growth relative to liabilities. The decrease in leverage suggests a potential improvement in financial risk profile and balance sheet stability.

- EBIT Trend Analysis
- The EBIT values demonstrate a fluctuating but generally increasing trend over the observed periods. The initial quarter starts at 115,500 thousand US dollars and experiences periods of growth and decline intermittently. Notably, there is a peak in the third quarter of 2019 at 185,000 thousand US dollars, followed by a decline by the end of 2020. Subsequently, the EBIT recovers and advances to new highs, especially from 2022 onwards, reaching its highest reported value of 283,000 thousand US dollars in the second quarter of 2023. This indicates an overall improvement in operating profitability in the latter stages of the data timeline.
- Interest Expense Trend
- The net interest expense shows a consistent downward trend throughout the periods. Starting at 17,500 thousand US dollars in the first quarter of 2019, the interest expense decreases steadily to 7,800 thousand US dollars by the third quarter of 2023. This reduction reflects a significant decrease in interest costs or debt servicing over time, which may contribute positively to the company's financial health and net income.
- Interest Coverage Ratio Analysis
- The interest coverage ratio shows a pronounced upward trajectory during the periods. Beginning at 7.74 in the first quarter of 2019, the ratio improves steadily and substantially, reaching 25.23 by the third quarter of 2023. This significant increase suggests strengthening operating earnings relative to interest expenses, indicating enhanced ability to meet interest obligations. The improving ratio aligns with the observed decline in interest expenses and the general increase in EBIT, pointing to robust financial performance and reduced risk from interest burden.
- Overall Financial Performance Insights
- The data reflects an improving operational earnings capacity accompanied by a decreasing interest burden. This combination has favorably impacted the interest coverage ratio, which has more than tripled over the observed periods. The trends suggest enhanced profitability and financial stability, implying effective management of both operational performance and financing costs. Such patterns are indicative of strengthening creditworthiness and reduced financial stress from interest obligations.
