Long-term Debt Trends
The long-term debt fluctuated over the analyzed period, beginning at $2,919 million in 2005 and generally increasing through 2018, reaching a peak of $38,588 million in 2019. After 2019, the debt level declined significantly, reaching a low point of $19,738 million in 2023, before rising again to $26,116 million by 2024. This pattern indicates a phase of substantial leveraging up to 2019, followed by efforts to reduce debt, with a slight increase again in the most recent year.
Stockholders’ Equity Trends
Stockholders’ equity displayed a steady upward trend from 2005, starting at $15,032 million and reaching $43,126 million by 2013. However, it experienced a sharp decline from 2013 through 2016, bottoming out at $20,572 million. Afterwards, equity recovered gradually, achieving $34,159 million by 2024. This trajectory signifies a period of growth followed by material declines, and a subsequent recovery phase, possibly reflecting changes in retained earnings or equity issuance activities.
Debt to Equity Ratio Analysis
The debt to equity ratio was relatively low and stable from 2005 to 2013, fluctuating between 0.08 and 0.2. Post-2013, the ratio increased significantly, peaking at 1.95 in 2019 concurrent with the surge in long-term debt and decline in equity. This indicates a heightened financial leverage and increased risk during that period. From 2019 onward, the ratio decreased substantially to around 0.65-0.76 through 2023 and 2024, reflecting deleveraging and strengthening equity.
Overall Financial Position Insights
The period from 2005 to roughly 2013 was characterized by growing equity and moderate debt levels, suggesting conservative leverage. The years from 2014 to 2019 marked a phase of increased indebtedness and declining equity, leading to a higher leverage ratio and increased financial risk. Following 2019, the company appears to have pursued debt reduction and equity stabilization strategies, improving its leverage profile and financial robustness by 2024.
