- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio remained relatively stable around 0.44 from early 2021 through the end of 2021, showing minor fluctuations between 0.43 and 0.48 in 2022. However, there was a notable increase starting in December 2023, peaking at 0.73, before gradually decreasing to 0.61 by September 2025, indicating an initial rise in leverage followed by a moderate deleveraging trend.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- Inclusion of operating lease liabilities elevated the debt to equity ratio slightly above the standard measure, mirroring the same overall pattern. The ratio rose from 0.46 at the start of 2021 to a peak of 0.76 in December 2023, then declined gradually to 0.63 by the third quarter of 2025, suggesting a similar trajectory of increased leverage with subsequent restraint.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- Debt to capital ratio held steady around 0.30–0.31 during 2021 and early 2022, increasing slightly to about 0.34 by the last quarter of 2022. A more pronounced jump occurred in December 2023, reaching 0.42, before decreasing gradually to 0.38 by September 2025. This reflects a pattern of modest increased reliance on debt within the company's capital structure with a subsequent partial reduction.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The inclusion of operating lease liabilities caused a parallel but slightly higher ratio compared to the standard debt to capital ratio. It increased from approximately 0.32 in early 2021 to 0.43 in December 2023, then declined slowly to 0.39 by the third quarter of 2025, consistent with the overall trend of increased leverage peaking around late 2023 and easing afterwards.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- This ratio remained steady at about 0.20 through 2021 and most of 2022, followed by a rise to 0.22–0.23 during 2023. A significant increase occurred in December 2023, reaching 0.27 before trending down slowly to 0.23 by the third quarter of 2025. The pattern indicates a cautious increase in debt relative to total assets, later moderated after late 2023.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (Including Operating Lease Liability)
- The inclusion of operating leases slightly enhanced this ratio compared to the standard measure, following the same trend. The ratio increased from around 0.21 in early periods to a peak of 0.28 in December 2023 and then declined mildly to 0.24 by September 2025, indicating the firm’s leveraging through operating leases also followed the overall deleveraging pattern post-2023.
- Financial Leverage Ratio
- Financial leverage showed small fluctuations around 2.2 during 2021 and 2022, indicative of stable asset-to-equity relations. However, a substantial increase was observed in December 2023 with the ratio jumping to 2.71 and peaking slightly higher at 2.73 by mid-2024. Subsequently, the leverage ratio stabilized and declined gradually to 2.61 by September 2025, reflecting an initial extension and then stabilization of financial leverage over this period.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Shareowners’ equity
= 39,059 ÷ 64,514 = 0.61
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt exhibits relative stability from March 2021 through June 2022, fluctuating slightly around the mid-31,000 million US dollar range. From September 2022 to December 2023, the debt level rises notably, peaking significantly in December 2023 at approximately 43,827 million US dollars. Following this peak, the debt begins a gradual decline, reaching near 39,059 million US dollars by September 2025. This pattern indicates an initial period of controlled debt levels, followed by a phase of marked borrowing or liabilities increase, succeeded by a deleveraging or debt reduction trend toward the end of the period.
- Shareowners’ Equity
- Shareowners' equity remains relatively stable and robust from March 2021 to June 2023, mostly fluctuating between roughly 70,000 and 73,000 million US dollars. However, a substantial decrease occurs around December 2023, where equity dips to about 59,798 million US dollars. After this decline, a modest recovery and upward trend is observed through to September 2025, with equity climbing to approximately 64,514 million US dollars. The decline and subsequent recovery suggest a period of diminished retained earnings or other equity components, followed by a recovery phase.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio remains relatively low and stable around 0.44 to 0.45 until mid-2022. Starting from late 2022, the ratio shows an increasing trend, moving from around 0.48 to a pronounced peak of 0.73 in December 2023, coinciding with the peak debt level and the trough in equity. Post this peak, the ratio gradually decreases, reaching approximately 0.61 by September 2025. This trajectory indicates increased leverage culminating in late 2023, potentially reflecting heightened financial risk or shifting capital structure, followed by a period of deleveraging and risk reduction.

= 40,709 ÷ 64,514 = 0.63
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data reveals notable fluctuations in the company's total debt, shareowners’ equity, and the debt to equity ratio over the examined periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt remained relatively stable around the 33,000 million USD mark from early 2021 through mid-2022, with minor oscillations. Subsequently, a significant increase was observed at the end of 2023, peaking at approximately 45,239 million USD. Following that peak, the debt level gradually declined through 2024 and into mid-2025, ending near 40,709 million USD. This pattern suggests a phase of increased borrowing or lease obligations followed by a reduction, indicating potential strategic shifts in financing or repayments during these latter periods.
- Shareowners’ Equity
- Shareowners’ equity was relatively stable around 70,000 million USD during 2021 and 2022, with minor declines toward late 2022 and early 2023. However, a marked downturn occurred near the end of 2023, dropping notably to approximately 59,798 million USD. Despite some recovery attempts in 2024, equity levels remained below initial 2021 levels until a more pronounced increase appeared in 2025, reaching approximately 64,514 million USD by the third quarter. These fluctuations indicate periods of equity value erosion possibly due to losses, dividends, or other equity adjustments, followed by partial restoration.
- Debt to Equity Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to equity ratio was steady around 0.45 to 0.5 for the first two years, reflecting a balanced leverage position. Entering the latter part of 2023, there's a sharp rise in this ratio, reaching 0.76, coinciding with the surge in total debt and decline in equity. This elevated leverage level persisted through 2024, gradually easing towards the middle of 2025 to approximately 0.63, indicative of deleveraging efforts. The ratio's volatility corresponds closely with the divergent trends in debt and equity, emphasizing a period of heightened financial leverage followed by stabilization.
Overall, the data depicts a stable financial position in the early periods, succeeded by a phase of increased debt and reduced equity, resulting in elevated leverage. The subsequent period shows steps toward rebalancing the capital structure, with debt reductions and equity improvements leading to decreased leverage by mid-2025.

The financial data reveals the trends in the company's debt and capital structure over multiple quarters from March 2021 through September 2025. Several key observations emerge from the analysis of total debt, total capital, and the debt-to-capital ratio.
- Total Debt
- Total debt exhibited relative stability from early 2021 to mid-2022, fluctuating around the US$31 billion mark. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, there was a noticeable increase, peaking significantly at over US$43 billion by the end of 2023. Following this peak, total debt showed a gradual decline through 2024 and into 2025, ending near US$39 billion by the third quarter of 2025. This pattern indicates a period of substantial borrowing or debt accumulation, followed by measured deleveraging.
- Total Capital
- Total capital generally remained within a range between approximately US$101 billion and US$107 billion throughout the observed periods. Early 2021 to the end of 2023 saw slight fluctuations but overall stability near the US$103 billion to US$107 billion range. The trend in 2024 and into 2025 reflects some modest variability but no dramatic shifts or directional trends, indicating a relatively steady capital base despite changes in total debt.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt-to-capital ratio remained fairly stable around 0.30 to 0.32 from 2021 until mid-2022, suggesting consistent leverage levels. A pronounced increase in this ratio occurred starting in late 2022, reaching a peak of 0.42 by the end of 2023. This increase corresponds with the sharp rise in total debt noted previously and without a proportional increase in total capital, indicating heightened financial leverage. Post-2023, the ratio gradually declined but stayed elevated around 0.38 to 0.41 through to the third quarter of 2025, remaining above the levels observed before late 2022.
In summary, the company experienced a phase of significant debt accumulation in the latter part of 2022 and through 2023, which increased financial leverage notably as reflected in the debt-to-capital ratio. Despite some reduction of debt in subsequent quarters, leverage levels stayed elevated compared to the early periods. Total capital remained relatively constant throughout the timeline, suggesting that changes in leverage were driven primarily by shifts in debt rather than changes in the overall capital base.

The financial data reveals several notable trends regarding the company's debt and capital structure over the observed periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt level exhibited moderate fluctuations from the first quarter of 2021 through mid-2023, generally maintaining a range between approximately 32,700 million and 37,000 million US dollars. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, a substantial increase occurred, with debt rising sharply to over 45,200 million US dollars. Subsequently, total debt showed a gradual decline, reaching around 40,700 million US dollars by the third quarter of 2025. This pattern indicates a period of heightened leverage followed by deleveraging or repayment activities towards the latest periods.
- Total Capital (including operating lease liability)
- Total capital remained relatively stable throughout the examined timeline, mostly fluctuating between 102,000 million and 109,000 million US dollars. There was a slight decline beginning in mid-2023, continuing through to mid-2024, followed by a moderate recovery towards the latter quarters observed. The overall consistency in total capital suggests that while debt levels varied, the company's overall capitalization base did not experience dramatic shifts.
- Debt to Capital Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The debt to capital ratio initially hovered around 0.31 to 0.33 during 2021 and into early 2023, reflecting a stable leverage position. A pronounced increase in this ratio surfaced prominently in the last quarter of 2023, peaking at approximately 0.43. Following this peak, the ratio decreased gradually but remained elevated compared to earlier periods, settling near 0.39 by the third quarter of 2025. This trend corresponds with the sharp rise and subsequent reduction in total debt, indicating an increased reliance on debt financing during late 2023 and a partial reversion afterward.
In summary, the data points to a period of increased borrowing and leverage commencing at the end of 2023, followed by efforts to lower debt levels in subsequent quarters. Despite these fluctuations in debt, the company's total capital base remained relatively steady, ensuring that changes in leverage ratios directly reflect variations in debt rather than capital structure adjustments. This pattern may denote strategic financing decisions or responses to external financial conditions impacting the company's balance sheet management during the observed timeframe.

- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited moderate fluctuations but remained generally stable from March 2021 through December 2023, staying primarily between approximately 158,000 million and 164,000 million US dollars. In 2024, assets showed a gradual upward trend, increasing from about 160,000 million to 167,000 million by September 2025, indicating modest asset growth over the analyzed period.
- Debt to Assets Ratio
- The ratio of debt to assets hovered near 0.20 during early periods, reflecting a consistent leverage position relative to assets. A marked increase in this ratio was observed from the third quarter of 2022, rising to around 0.27 by December 2023, mirroring the surge in total debt. After that peak, the ratio steadily declined over 2024 and into 2025, dropping to 0.23 by the third quarter of 2025. This suggests that the company reduced its leverage relative to its asset base following a peak in indebtedness.
- Summary
- Overall, the data reveal a phase of increased leverage beginning in late 2022 and peaking in late 2023, characterized by rising debt levels and a corresponding increase in the debt to assets ratio. Subsequently, there is evidence of deleveraging, with reductions in total debt and a more conservative leverage ratio through 2024 and 2025. Total assets remained relatively stable with slight growth toward the end of the period. These trends may reflect strategic financial management actions aimed at optimizing the capital structure after a period of higher indebtedness.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals the following trends regarding the debt levels, assets, and leverage ratio of the company over the reported periods.
- Total Debt (including operating lease liability)
- The total debt level remained relatively stable from March 2021 through June 2022, fluctuating slightly around the 33,000 million USD mark. Starting from September 2022, there was a noticeable increase, with debt rising sharply to a peak of 45,239 million USD by December 2023. Following this peak, total debt showed a gradual decline, reaching approximately 40,709 million USD by September 2025. This indicates a period of increased leverage followed by a measured reduction in debt obligations.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited minor fluctuations without a strong directional trend in the early periods, maintaining a range close to 160,000 million USD from March 2021 through June 2023. From June 2023 onward, assets showed a modest but consistent upward trajectory, increasing towards 168,672 million USD by September 2025. This upward trend in asset base suggests a gradual expansion or asset revaluation over time.
- Debt to Assets Ratio (including operating lease liability)
- The leverage ratio was stable at approximately 0.21 for the majority of the timeframe until mid-2022. Beginning in the latter half of 2022, the ratio escalated sharply, reaching a peak of 0.28 in December 2023. This mirrors the rise in total debt occurring alongside relatively steady assets. After this peak, the ratio declined steadily to 0.24 by September 2025, reflecting the company's efforts to reduce leverage in relation to its asset base.
Overall, the data suggests the company experienced a phase of increased borrowing and leverage between late 2022 and the end of 2023, followed by a stabilization and reduction period. Concurrently, the asset base grew gradually over the latter part of the dataset, supporting a more balanced financial structure heading towards 2025.

1 Q3 2025 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareowners’ equity
= 168,672 ÷ 64,514 = 2.61
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Assets
- Total assets remained relatively stable from March 2021 through December 2022, fluctuating within a narrow range around 158,000 to 161,000 million US dollars. Beginning in March 2023, a gradual upward trend is observable, with total assets increasing consistently and reaching approximately 168,672 million US dollars by September 2025. This reflects an asset growth of about 7.4% over the two-and-a-half-year period following March 2023.
- Shareowners’ Equity
- Shareowners’ equity demonstrated a moderately stable pattern from March 2021 to September 2022, maintaining values mostly between 70,000 and 73,000 million US dollars. However, a notable decline occurred in late 2023, dropping to a low of approximately 59,798 million US dollars by December 2023. After this trough, equity stabilized but at a lower level than the previous years before gradually recovering. From early 2024 onwards, there was a modest but consistent increase, with equity reaching around 64,514 million US dollars by September 2025. Overall, the equity shows a recovery trajectory following a period of significant decline.
- Financial Leverage
- The financial leverage ratio remained relatively constant near 2.2 from the beginning of the observation period through early 2023, indicating stable use of debt relative to equity. A sharp increase occurred in the latter half of 2023, peaking at 2.71 in December 2023, corresponding with the decline in shareowners’ equity. Subsequent periods show leverage maintaining elevated levels between approximately 2.61 and 2.73, somewhat higher than earlier years. This suggests a shift toward greater reliance on debt financing relative to equity in the more recent periods, likely influenced by the reduced equity base.
- Summary Insights
- The overall asset base of the company has shown modest growth since early 2023, whereas equity experienced a significant decrease in late 2023 followed by gradual recovery. The financial leverage ratio’s increase in late 2023 aligns with the equity decline, indicating increased indebtedness relative to equity. This raises considerations about the company’s capital structure risk, as higher leverage may increase financial risk. The recovery in equity alongside continued asset growth suggests ongoing efforts to strengthen the balance sheet, but the elevated leverage ratio indicates a cautious monitoring of debt levels is advisable.
