1 US$ in millions
The financial data reveals distinct trends in the company's capital structure over the analyzed period. The short-term and long-term debt levels, measured in millions of US dollars, exhibit considerable variability. The debt peaked notably in 2007 at 3,257 million and remained elevated through 2012, staying above 3,900 million at its highest. After a decline observed towards 2014 and 2015, where debt fell below 3,200 million, there was a resurgence in debt levels by 2020, reaching nearly 4,900 million, before slightly tapering off in the subsequent two years.
Stockholders’ equity demonstrates a general uptrend with some fluctuations. Initially rising steadily from 3,324 million in 2005 to a peak of 5,531 million in 2007, it then declined significantly during the financial crisis period, hitting lows below 3,000 million in 2015 and 2016. Following this period, equity rebounded strongly, surpassing 9,000 million in 2021 and exceeding 10,000 million in 2022, indicating an increase in the company's net worth or retained earnings in recent years.
The debt-to-equity ratio indicates the relative dominance of debt financing compared to equity. This ratio started low at 0.23 in 2006 but rose steadily to reach highs above 1.3 between 2011 and 2012, reflecting heavier reliance on debt financing during that phase. Subsequent years saw a decline, with the ratio dropping below 0.6 by 2018 and 2019. A notable spike occurred again in 2020, bringing the ratio back to 1.29, followed by a sharp decrease to below 0.4 by the end of 2022. This oscillation suggests periods of strategic leverage alternated with phases of deleveraging and equity strengthening.
