The solvency profile exhibits two distinct phases: a period of relatively low leverage followed by a strategic increase in debt beginning in early 2024, with a subsequent gradual deleveraging trend through mid-2026.

Capitalization and Equity Ratios
A significant escalation in debt levels is observed peaking in June 2024, where the Debt to Equity ratio reached 0.62 and Debt to Capital peaked at 0.38. Prior to this, these ratios remained relatively low, with Debt to Equity fluctuating between 0.13 and 0.29. Following the mid-2024 peak, a consistent downward trajectory is noted, with Debt to Equity declining to 0.36 and Debt to Capital to 0.27 by June 2026.
Asset-Based Solvency and Financial Leverage
The Debt to Assets ratio mirrors the capitalization trends, spiking from 0.11 in March 2024 to 0.31 in June 2024 before stabilizing and descending to 0.21 by June 2026. Financial leverage followed a similar pattern, increasing from a baseline of approximately 1.60 to 1.80 to a peak of 2.01 in June 2024, eventually returning to 1.76 by the end of the observed period.
Interest Coverage and Debt Servicing Capacity
A pronounced long-term decline in the interest coverage ratio is evident. From a high of 52.92 in April 2022, the ratio decreased steadily, falling below 20.00 by December 2024 and reaching a minimum of 13.50 in June 2025. Although the ratio shows a slight recovery to 15.57 by June 2026, the overall capacity to cover interest expenses from operating income has contracted significantly over the timeframe.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 2,482,200 ÷ 6,857,963 = 0.36

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The solvency profile of the organization is characterized by a strategic expansion of total debt offset by a consistent and substantial increase in stockholders' equity. While there were periods of significant leverage increase, the overall financial position remains stable due to the concurrent growth in the equity base.

Total Debt Volatility
Total debt levels exhibited two primary periods of escalation. An initial increase occurred in October 2022, where debt rose to $797.8 million from a baseline of approximately $348 million. A more substantial surge took place between June 2024 and September 2024, with debt peaking at $2.83 billion. Following this peak, debt levels stabilized and fluctuated between $2.48 billion and $2.91 billion through June 2026.
Equity Accumulation Trends
Stockholders' equity demonstrated a strong and uninterrupted upward trajectory throughout the analyzed period. Starting at $2.76 billion in April 2022, equity grew steadily to reach $6.86 billion by June 2026. This growth indicates a consistent strengthening of the company's net asset position, which has served to mitigate the impact of increased borrowing.
Debt to Equity Ratio Dynamics
The debt-to-equity ratio reflects a shift from a very low-leverage position to a moderate one. The ratio began at 0.13 and remained below 0.30 until mid-2024. A significant peak of 0.62 was reached in September 2024, coinciding with the highest recorded debt levels. Subsequently, a consistent downward trend is observed, with the ratio declining to 0.36 by June 2026, suggesting a period of deleveraging as equity growth outpaced debt accumulation.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The solvency profile of the organization is characterized by two distinct phases of leverage expansion followed by periods of gradual deleveraging. While total capital has maintained a consistent upward trajectory, the debt to capital ratio has exhibited significant volatility corresponding to specific spikes in total debt.

Initial Leverage Fluctuations (2022–2024)
From April 2022 to March 2024, the debt to capital ratio remained relatively low, starting at 0.11. A notable increase occurred in October 2022, where the ratio peaked at 0.23 following a rise in total debt from approximately 348 million to 798 million. This was followed by a steady downward trend, with the ratio compressing to 0.15 by March 2024, indicating a period of debt reduction relative to the growth of the total capital base.
Significant Capitalization Event (2024)
A sharp inflection point is observed in mid-2024. Between March 31 and September 30, 2024, total debt rose aggressively from 649 million to 2.83 billion. This resulted in the debt to capital ratio climbing from 0.15 to a peak of 0.38. This period represents the highest level of financial leverage observed in the analysis, suggesting a strategic acquisition or significant funding initiative.
Stabilization and Long-term Trend (2025–2026)
Following the peak in September 2024, a gradual decline in the debt to capital ratio is evident. By December 2025, the ratio decreased to 0.31. Although a further spike in total debt to 2.91 billion occurred in March 2026, the concurrent expansion of total capital to 9.47 billion mitigated the impact on the ratio.

An analysis of the solvency profile reveals a significant shift in the capital structure characterized by two distinct phases of debt accumulation followed by periods of asset-driven ratio normalization.

Debt Accumulation Patterns
Total debt exhibited a relatively stable baseline of approximately 348 million USD in early 2022 before experiencing a sharp increase to 798 million USD by October 2022. Following a period of gradual reduction throughout 2023, a substantial expansion in leverage occurred in 2024. Debt levels surged from 649 million USD in March 2024 to a peak of 2.83 billion USD by September 2024, representing a more than fourfold increase within six months. Debt levels remained elevated through 2025, fluctuating between 2.48 billion USD and 2.91 billion USD.
Asset Growth Trajectory
Total assets demonstrated a consistent upward trend across the entire period. Starting at 4.40 billion USD in April 2022, assets grew steadily to 5.67 billion USD by December 2023. A significant acceleration in asset growth was observed in mid-2024, with total assets jumping to 9.17 billion USD by September 2024. This growth trajectory continued through the end of the period, reaching 12.08 billion USD by June 2026.
Debt to Assets Ratio Dynamics
The debt to assets ratio reflects the interplay between increasing liabilities and expanding assets. The ratio began at 0.08 and peaked twice: first at 0.16 in October 2022 and later reaching a period high of 0.31 in September 2024. The 2024 peak coincides with the most aggressive increase in total debt. However, as asset growth continued to outpace the stabilization of debt in 2025 and 2026, the ratio entered a downward trend, declining from 0.31 to 0.21 by June 2026.

The data indicates that while the company significantly increased its leverage to fund asset growth in 2024, the subsequent expansion of the asset base has effectively mitigated the solvency risk, resulting in a gradual improvement of the debt-to-asset relationship toward the end of the analyzed period.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 12,080,325 ÷ 6,857,963 = 1.76

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.


The organization has exhibited substantial growth in its balance sheet scale from April 2022 through June 2026, characterized by a significant expansion of total assets and a corresponding increase in stockholders' equity. The overall financial trajectory indicates a strategic scaling of operations, with a notable acceleration in asset accumulation during the 2024 and 2026 periods.

Asset Growth Trends
Total assets rose from 4.39 billion USD in April 2022 to 12.08 billion USD by June 2026. A period of rapid expansion is observed between March 2024 and September 2024, where assets increased from 5.72 billion USD to 9.16 billion USD. A subsequent surge is noted in the first quarter of 2026, with assets peaking at 12.09 billion USD.
Stockholders' Equity Evolution
Equity maintained a consistent upward trend, growing from 2.76 billion USD in April 2022 to 6.85 billion USD by June 2026. This growth reflects a steady increase in the retained earnings or capital contributions, which has provided a buffer to support the expanding asset base. The equity growth coincided with the asset spikes of 2024 and 2026, suggesting a balanced approach to financing expansion.
Financial Leverage Analysis
The financial leverage ratio fluctuated within a range of 1.59 to 2.01. After an initial rise from 1.59 in April 2022 to a peak of 1.87 in December 2022, the ratio declined to 1.60 by March 2024. A significant peak occurred on September 30, 2024, reaching 2.01, coinciding with the rapid asset expansion observed during that quarter. Following this peak, the leverage ratio gradually moderated, ending the period at 1.76 in June 2026. This pattern indicates that while periods of aggressive growth led to temporary increases in leverage, the organization successfully stabilized its capital structure over time.

1 Q2 2026 Calculation
Interest coverage = (EBITQ2 2026 + EBITQ1 2026 + EBITQ4 2025 + EBITQ3 2025) ÷ (Interest expenseQ2 2026 + Interest expenseQ1 2026 + Interest expenseQ4 2025 + Interest expenseQ3 2025)
= (545,370 + 459,716 + 522,401 + 421,818) ÷ (35,136 + 31,613 + 29,440 + 29,035) = 15.57

An analysis of solvency trends indicates a significant compression in the interest coverage ratio over the period from April 2022 to June 2026. While operating profitability has expanded, the rate of increase in interest obligations has outpaced earnings growth, leading to a reduction in the margin of safety for debt servicing.

Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
A general upward trajectory in operating earnings is observed. Following a period of volatility in 2022, where EBIT reached a low of 219,607 thousand USD in December, the figure grew consistently. By June 2026, EBIT reached 545,370 thousand USD, reflecting a substantial increase in the capacity to generate profit from core operations.
Interest Expense
Interest obligations remained relatively stable between April 2022 and March 2024, fluctuating between approximately 4,108 thousand USD and 9,260 thousand USD. A sharp escalation began in June 2024, with expenses rising to 12,905 thousand USD and continuing an upward climb to 35,136 thousand USD by June 2026. This represents a significant increase in the cost of debt servicing over the analyzed period.
Interest Coverage Ratio
The interest coverage ratio experienced a pronounced decline, falling from a peak of 58.34 in July 2022 to a minimum of 13.50 in June 2025. The most rapid deterioration occurred between June 2024 and March 2025, during which the ratio dropped from 33.48 to 15.95. Although a slight recovery to 15.57 was noted by June 2026, the overall trend reflects a diminished capacity to cover interest payments relative to the historical baseline, despite the growth in absolute EBIT.
