- Debt to equity ratio
- The debt to equity ratio demonstrated some variability over the period analyzed. Initially, it declined from 1.07 in September 2017 to a low of 0.77 by September 2021, indicating a reduction in leverage relative to shareholder equity. However, following this period of decreasing leverage, the ratio increased notably, reaching 1.59 by the fourth quarter of 2022. This suggests a recent rise in reliance on debt financing compared to equity.
- Debt to capital ratio
- This ratio followed a somewhat similar trend as the debt to equity ratio. It declined gradually from 0.52 in late 2017 to a low near 0.44 in mid-2021, signifying a decrease in the proportion of debt in the total capital structure. In the subsequent periods, it rose again, peaking around 0.61 by the end of 2022, signaling an increase in the utilization of debt relative to total capital.
- Debt to assets ratio
- The debt to assets ratio showed a moderate downward trend from 0.38 in September 2017 to about 0.32 by September 2021. This points to a reduction in the proportion of company assets financed by debt. However, a sharp increase occurred after this period, with the ratio increasing to approximately 0.47 in late 2022, indicating higher leverage on the asset base.
- Financial leverage ratio
- The financial leverage ratio decreased from 2.85 in late 2017 to a minimum near 2.38 by September 2021, reflecting a lowering of total asset funding relative to equity. From this point onward, the ratio rose significantly, exceeding previous levels and reaching 3.42 by the end of 2022. This suggests an increase in overall leverage and possibly a more aggressive capital structure.
- Interest coverage ratio
- The interest coverage ratio showed a generally strong ability to meet interest obligations from operating earnings in the earlier years, peaking around 11.17 in mid-2019. However, a consistent downward trend ensued from late 2019 onwards, with a notable decline in 2020 and further decreases through 2022, reaching a low of 4.94 by year-end 2022. This indicates a growing strain on the company's capacity to cover interest expenses, potentially reflecting higher interest costs or diminishing earnings before interest and taxes.
- Overall trends and insights
- The data reveals a period of deleveraging from 2017 through 2021, during which the company reduced its reliance on debt and improved its capital structure. This phase was accompanied by strong interest coverage ratios, indicating sound financial health. However, starting in late 2021 and continuing through 2022, there is a reversal of these trends, with leverage ratios increasing significantly across different metrics and interest coverage ratios declining. This shift suggests an increased use of debt financing and potentially more pressure on profitability or cash flows to service debt obligations. The growing leverage combined with weaker interest coverage warrants attention as it could impact financial stability if the underlying operating performance does not improve.

- Total Debt
- The total debt exhibits significant fluctuations over the observed periods. Initially, the debt remains relatively stable around the 5.9 to 6.0 billion USD range until the first quarter of 2018, after which it declines sharply in the second quarter of 2018 to approximately 4.96 billion USD. Following this dip, debt levels generally increase with some volatility, reaching a peak of about 14.0 billion USD by the end of 2022. Notably, surges occur around the third quarters of 2019 and 2022, marking substantial increases compared to prior quarters.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity demonstrates a gradual upward trend over the timeframe. Starting from approximately 5.5 billion USD in late 2017, equity experiences minor fluctuations, decreasing slightly during some quarters, but recovering afterwards. Significant growth appears from early 2021 onward, where equity rises steadily from 7.4 billion USD to over 9.3 billion USD by December 2022, indicating an overall strengthening of the company’s net assets despite periodic dips.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio presents a pattern of volatility in alignment with changes in debt and equity levels. During 2017 and early 2018, the ratio trends downward from slightly above 1.0 to a low below 0.85, reflecting reduced leverage. Thereafter, it increases sharply in mid to late 2019, peaking near 1.54, followed by a general decline through 2021 to below 0.8, suggesting improved capital structure. However, starting in late 2021 and continuing through 2022, the ratio rises again, reaching highs around 1.6, which corresponds with the sharp rises in total debt and more moderate growth in equity. This indicates increased leverage and reliance on debt financing at the end of the period.
- Overall Analysis
- The financial data reveal a company managing considerable debt levels alongside growing shareholder equity. The trends suggest periods of deleveraging followed by aggressive debt accumulation, particularly noticeable in the latter years. The company’s capital structure fluctuates, with leverage ratios varying significantly due to debt issuance and equity growth. The upward trend in equity could signal retained earnings accumulation or capital infusion, while the debt spikes may correspond to strategic financing or operational demands. Monitoring leverage trends will be crucial for assessing financial risk going forward.

The analysis of the quarterly financial indicators reveals notable fluctuations in the company's leverage and capital structure over the examined period.
- Total Debt
-
There is an observable initial decrease in total debt from the third quarter of 2017 through the second quarter of 2018, declining from approximately 5.93 billion to 4.96 billion US dollars. Subsequently, the debt level rises again, with a marked increase from mid-2019 onwards, reaching a peak towards the end of 2022 at around 14.02 billion US dollars. This upward trend in debt particularly accelerates after mid-2021, indicating a significant increase in the company's borrowing or other interest-bearing liabilities during this timeframe.
- Total Capital
-
Total capital follows a somewhat similar trajectory. It starts from about 11.46 billion US dollars in the third quarter of 2017, slightly fluctuates through 2018 and early 2019, then shows a steady incline from mid-2019, culminating in a peak exceeding 23.34 billion US dollars by the end of 2022. This growth suggests an expansion in the company's capital base, likely driven by increased debt and possibly equity or retained earnings contributing to overall capitalization.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
-
The debt to capital ratio exhibits cyclical variation with an initial gradual decline from 0.52 in late 2017 to a low of 0.44 in mid-2021, which indicates a reduction in leverage relative to total capital. However, after mid-2021, the ratio increases substantially to peak near 0.61 by the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting an elevated reliance on debt financing in the capital structure. This rising leverage ratio is consistent with the simultaneous notable increase in total debt, signifying a shift towards higher financial risk exposure during the latter periods analyzed.

The financial data for Parker-Hannifin Corp. over the analyzed periods reveals several noteworthy trends related to total debt, total assets, and the corresponding debt-to-assets ratio.
- Total Debt
- The total debt figures exhibit a fluctuating but generally increasing pattern over the periods. Initially, debt was relatively stable around the 5.9 to 6.0 billion USD range in late 2017, with a notable decline observed in mid-2018, reaching approximately 4.95 billion USD. Subsequently, debt levels increased significantly, peaking near 9.7 billion USD by the end of 2019. In 2020, a gradual decrease followed, dropping to about 7.2 billion USD by the end of that year. The upward trend resumed throughout 2021 and continued sharply into 2022, reaching a high of approximately 14.0 billion USD by the end of 2022.
- Total Assets
- Total assets have displayed a generally upward trajectory over the entire timeframe. Starting around 15.7 billion USD in late 2017, assets experienced moderate growth despite some fluctuations, exceeding 19.5 billion USD by late 2019. A period of slight contraction was observed during 2020, with assets hovering near 19.7 to 19.8 billion USD. From 2021 onward, the company demonstrated steady asset growth, culminating near 22.5 billion USD by early 2022 and reaching a significant peak approaching 30.5 billion USD by the close of 2022.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The debt-to-assets ratio has shown meaningful variation corresponding with changes in debt and asset levels. Initially, the ratio hovered around 0.36 to 0.38 between 2017 and early 2018, decreasing to its lowest point near 0.32 by mid-2018. As total debt increased sharply towards the end of 2019, the ratio rose correspondingly to approximately 0.46-0.47. During 2020, as debt levels diminished and assets stabilized, the ratio declined back to the range of 0.36-0.40. The ratio further decreased slightly through mid-2021 but then experienced a renewed upward trend in late 2021 and throughout 2022, reaching highs consistent with previous peaks near 0.46-0.47.
In summary, the company exhibited a strategic increase in total assets over the period, particularly noticeable in 2021 and 2022, indicating asset base expansion. Concurrently, total debt levels rose notably in the latter periods, driving the debt-to-assets ratio higher and suggesting an increased leverage position. This increase in leverage towards the end of 2022 reflects a substantial rise in borrowing relative to the asset base, which may have implications for the company's financial risk profile. The fluctuations in debt and asset levels, as well as the debt-to-assets ratio, highlight periods of both deleveraging and leveraging, indicating active financial management responsive to operational or market conditions.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends and patterns in the company’s asset base, equity, and financial leverage over the period examined.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited an overall upward trajectory from September 2017 through December 2022. Starting at approximately $15.7 billion, total assets showed steady growth, with occasional fluctuations, reaching about $30.5 billion by the end of the period. There were periods of decline, such as between March 2020 and June 2020, likely reflecting market adjustments or other operational impacts, but the general long-term trend was positive, indicating expansion in the company's asset base.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity also increased over time, albeit at a more moderate pace relative to total assets. From approximately $5.5 billion in September 2017, equity grew to around $9.3 billion by December 2022. This growth was not strictly linear; for instance, some quarters showed decreases or stagnation, possibly due to earnings variations, dividend payments, or other comprehensive income changes. However, the consistent increase in equity supports a strengthening capital base within the company during the analyzed timeframe.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage, calculated as the ratio of total assets to shareholders’ equity, displayed significant variability throughout the periods. Starting at 2.85 in late 2017, leverage decreased to around 2.38 by the end of 2021, reflecting a relative decrease in debt or an increase in equity compared to assets. Nevertheless, in 2022, leverage increased again, surpassing previous peaks to reach above 3.4, indicating a higher reliance on debt financing or slower growth in equity compared to assets. This fluctuation suggests shifting financing strategies or responses to external conditions affecting capital structure decisions.
In summary, the company demonstrated significant asset growth accompanied by increasing shareholders' equity over the examined quarters. The financial leverage ratio's oscillation points to varying degrees of financial risk and capital structure adjustments, with a notable increase in leverage in the most recent periods which may warrant monitoring.

The financial data reveals distinct trends in earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), interest expense, and interest coverage over the observed periods.
- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- EBIT demonstrates considerable fluctuations across the reporting quarters. Initially, EBIT showed a general upward trend from late 2017 through mid-2019, reaching peaks above 570 million USD. However, from late 2019 through mid-2020, there is a noticeable decline, coinciding with a significant dip to approximately 189 million USD by mid-2022, representing the lowest point in the dataset. Subsequently, EBIT recovers strongly in the last observed quarters, climbing back to over 660 million USD, though this peak still remains below some earlier peaks.
- Interest Expense
- Interest expense generally trended upward over the entire period. Starting around 53 million USD, it remains relatively steady with modest increases until late 2019. From that point onwards, interest expenses rise at an accelerated pace, reaching nearly 147 million USD by the end of 2022. This represents a substantial increase, more than doubling over the period. Such growth in interest expense may indicate rising borrowing costs or increased debt levels.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- The interest coverage ratio, which measures the ability to cover interest expenses with operating earnings, reflects the interplay between EBIT and interest expense. Initially, the ratio is relatively high, around 8.7 to 11, indicating strong capacity to meet interest obligations. There is a dip in late 2019 and early 2020, corresponding with the EBIT decline and rising interest expenses. The ratio decreases steadily during this period, reaching lows below 5 by the end of 2022. This downward trend signals a weakening ability to cover interest payments, largely driven by decreasing EBIT and escalating interest costs.
Overall, the data suggests an environment of rising financial burden from interest expenses paired with volatility in operating earnings. Although EBIT recovers somewhat in recent quarters, the rapid increase in interest expenses and the declining interest coverage ratio highlight potential concerns regarding financial leverage and risk. Continuous monitoring is advisable to evaluate the sustainability of earnings relative to debt-related costs.
