Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31).
The carrying amount of total debt exhibited a fluctuating pattern over the five-year period. An initial increase was followed by a period of decline.
- Overall Trend
- Total debt began at US$31.485 billion in 2021, increased to US$31.914 billion in 2022, and then rose significantly to US$43.827 billion in 2023. Subsequently, a decrease was observed, with total debt falling to US$41.261 billion in 2024 and further to US$37.904 billion in 2025.
- Short-Term Borrowings
- Short-term borrowings demonstrated considerable volatility. A substantial increase from US$134 million in 2021 to US$625 million in 2022 was followed by a decrease to US$189 million in 2023 and a slight increase to US$183 million in 2024. The value rose again to US$204 million in 2025, but remained significantly below the 2022 peak.
- Long-Term Debt – Currently Due
- Long-term debt currently due experienced a marked increase throughout the period. Starting at US$24 million in 2021, it rose to US$595 million in 2022, US$1,283 million in 2023, US$2,352 million in 2024, and reached US$3,412 million in 2025. This represents a substantial and consistent upward trend.
- Long-Term Debt – Excluding Currently Due
- Long-term debt, excluding the portion currently due, showed a more moderate pattern. It decreased slightly from US$31,327 million in 2021 to US$30,694 million in 2022, then increased to US$42,355 million in 2023. A subsequent decline to US$38,726 million in 2024 was followed by a further decrease to US$34,288 million in 2025.
The significant increase in total debt in 2023 was primarily driven by a substantial rise in long-term debt, excluding the current portion. The subsequent decline in total debt in 2024 and 2025 appears to be attributable to a reduction in this same long-term debt category, partially offset by the continued increase in the portion of long-term debt due within the next year.
