Solvency Ratios (Summary)
Amphenol Corp., solvency ratios
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31).
- Debt Ratios
- The debt to equity ratio shows a consistent downward trend over the five-year period, decreasing from 0.80 in 2019 to 0.52 in 2023. When including operating lease liability, the ratio follows a similar pattern, declining from 0.84 to 0.56. This indicates a gradual reduction in reliance on debt financing relative to shareholder equity.
- Debt to capital also reflects a decreasing trend, moving from 0.44 in 2019 to 0.34 in 2023. Including operating lease liability, the ratio exhibits a comparable decline from 0.46 to 0.36. This suggests a strategic approach towards lowering the proportion of debt in the company’s overall capital structure.
- Debt to assets ratio similarly decreases, from 0.33 in 2019 to 0.26 in 2023, and when operating lease liability is considered, it reduces from 0.35 to 0.28. This points to an improving asset base or a reduction in total debt obligations over the years.
- Financial Leverage
- Financial leverage demonstrates a downward movement, falling from 2.39 in 2019 to 1.98 in 2023. This decline indicates that the company is relying less on borrowed funds to finance its assets, potentially reflecting a more conservative capital management strategy.
- Coverage Ratios
- Interest coverage shows an overall increasing trend, rising from 13.72 in 2019 to a peak of 20.22 in 2022 before slightly decreasing to 18.60 in 2023. The increase indicates improving ability to meet interest expenses from operating earnings, reflecting strengthening profitability or reduced interest expenses.
- Fixed charge coverage also improves steadily from 7.95 in 2019 to 10.21 in 2023, with the highest level in 2022 at 10.88. This suggests enhanced capacity to cover fixed financial obligations, further supporting the company's improved financial health.

- Total Debt
- The total debt shows a fluctuating, yet generally downward trend over the five-year period. The value increased from approximately 3.61 billion USD in 2019 to a peak of about 4.80 billion USD in 2021. After 2021, a decline is observed, with total debt reducing to approximately 4.58 billion USD in 2022 and further decreasing to around 4.34 billion USD by the end of 2023.
- Stockholders’ Equity Attributable to Amphenol Corporation
- Stockholders’ equity exhibits a consistent upward trend throughout the period. Starting at roughly 4.53 billion USD in 2019, equity increased each year, reaching about 8.35 billion USD at the end of 2023. This steady growth indicates strengthening equity position and possibly retained earnings accumulation or equity issuance.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- The debt to equity ratio demonstrates a clear downward trajectory over the five years, reflecting improved financial leverage. The ratio decreased from 0.80 in 2019 to 0.52 in 2023. This decline is driven by both the reduction in total debt since 2021 and the continuous increase in stockholders’ equity, suggesting a stronger equity base relative to debt and potentially a more conservative capital structure.
- Overall Financial Trends
- The data indicate a strategic shift towards de-leveraging after 2021, with the company reducing its outstanding debt while simultaneously bolstering its equity position. This combination has favorably impacted the debt to equity ratio, signaling improved financial stability and lower leverage risk. The growth in equity coupled with declining debt levels may position the company well for future investment or resilience against economic fluctuations.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Total Debt
- The total debt exhibited an overall upward trend from 2019 to 2021, rising from approximately $3.61 billion to nearly $4.80 billion, indicating increased borrowing during this period. However, beginning in 2022, total debt started to decrease, falling to about $4.58 billion, and further declining to approximately $4.34 billion by the end of 2023. This suggests a strategic reduction in debt levels in the most recent years.
- Total Capital
- Total capital showed consistent growth throughout the five-year period. It increased steadily from $8.14 billion in 2019 to $12.68 billion in 2023. This signifies that the company's overall capitalization expanded considerably, reflecting either equity growth, retained earnings, or a combination of capital sources augmenting the company's financial base.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The debt to capital ratio decreased progressively from 0.44 in 2019 to 0.34 in 2023. This decline indicates an improving capital structure, with a reduced proportion of debt relative to total capital. The ratio's downward trend aligns with the reductions observed in total debt alongside growth in total capital, suggesting enhanced financial stability and possibly a lower financial risk profile over time.

- Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)
- The EBIT exhibited a steady upward trend from 2019 to 2022, increasing from $1,613,500 thousand in 2019 to a peak of $2,595,800 thousand in 2022. However, in 2023, EBIT showed a slight decrease to $2,594,300 thousand, indicating a stabilization after significant growth over the prior years.
- Interest Expense
- The interest expense remained relatively stable between 2019 and 2021, fluctuating marginally around $115,000 thousand. From 2021 onwards, there was a consistent increase, reaching $139,500 thousand in 2023, which reflects a rising cost of debt or increased borrowing during this period.
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- This ratio, indicating the company’s ability to cover interest expenses with operating earnings, improved progressively from 13.72 in 2019 to a high of 20.22 in 2022. Despite the increase in interest expenses, the EBIT growth outpaced this, maintaining strong coverage. In 2023, the ratio slightly declined to 18.6 but remained at a robust level, suggesting continued comfortable coverage of interest obligations.
- Summary
- Overall, the financial data reflects solid operational earnings growth through 2022 with a marginal plateau in 2023. Interest expenses have increased moderately in recent years, but the company has consistently maintained a strong ability to service its interest obligations, as demonstrated by the interest coverage ratio remaining well above 15. The slight decline in EBIT and interest coverage in the latest year may warrant monitoring but does not yet indicate significant financial stress.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
- Earnings before Fixed Charges and Tax
- Over the five-year period, earnings before fixed charges and tax demonstrated a consistent upward trend. Starting at approximately $1.71 billion in 2019, this figure rose moderately to about $1.74 billion in 2020 despite a challenging economic environment. A significant increase was observed in 2021, reaching around $2.22 billion, followed by continued growth to approximately $2.72 billion in both 2022 and 2023. The stabilization of earnings between 2022 and 2023 suggests a plateauing effect after a strong expansion phase.
- Fixed Charges
- Fixed charges showed a gradual increase from $215.2 million in 2019 to $266.6 million in 2023. The rise was steady each year, suggesting incremental growth in financial obligations or fixed expenses. The incremental increase ranged from about $2 million to $6.8 million annually, indicating manageable growth in fixed charges relative to earnings.
- Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
- The fixed charge coverage ratio, reflecting the company’s ability to cover fixed financial obligations through operating earnings, improved consistently from 7.95 in 2019 to a peak of 10.88 in 2022. Despite a slight decline to 10.21 in 2023, the ratio remained robust and significantly above initial levels. This suggests enhanced financial stability and a stronger buffer to meet fixed charges through operating income over the period.
- Overall Financial Trends
- The company displayed strong growth in operating earnings accompanied by a moderate and controlled increase in fixed charges. The fixed charge coverage ratio improved markedly, indicating an increasing capacity to service fixed costs. The peak in earnings and coverage in 2022 followed by a marginal decline in coverage for 2023 may reflect initial market saturation or rising fixed costs, though the overall financial health remains solid.
