1 US$ in millions


Long-term Debt Trend
The long-term debt, including the current portion, shows a significant increase from 2010 to 2012, nearly doubling from 15,826 million US dollars in 2010 to 34,401 million US dollars in 2012. After peaking in 2014 at 42,963 million US dollars, the debt gradually decreased over the following years, falling to 34,392 million US dollars by the end of 2019. This indicates an initial phase of substantial borrowing followed by a period of debt reduction and financial consolidation.
Stockholders’ Equity Trend
The total stockholders’ equity experienced notable growth over the period. Starting at 3,439 million US dollars in 2010, the equity sharply increased in 2012 to 13,865 million US dollars. After a minor decline in 2013, equity surged again in 2014 to 34,076 million US dollars and remained relatively stable thereafter, maintaining a level just above 33,000 million US dollars through 2019. This pattern points to strong equity growth and stabilization at a high capital base in the later years.
Debt to Equity Ratio Analysis
The debt to equity ratio reveals a marked improvement in financial leverage over the period. Initially very high at 4.6 in 2010 and further increasing to 5.2 in 2011, it significantly dropped to around 2.5 in 2012 and continued to decrease steadily thereafter, reaching close to 1.0 by the end of 2019. This downward trend reflects the company’s efforts to reduce reliance on debt relative to equity, thereby moving towards a more balanced and potentially less risky capital structure.
Overall Financial Position Insight
Throughout the analyzed period, there is a clear shift from a highly leveraged position towards a more balanced financial structure. The combination of declining debt levels after 2014, rising and stabilized shareholders' equity, and a continuous reduction in the debt to equity ratio suggests improved financial health and greater solvency. These trends indicate a strategic focus on strengthening the equity base and reducing debt risk, which may enhance the company’s creditworthiness and financial flexibility.
