1 US$ in thousands


Total Debt
The total debt shows a decreasing trend from 2005 through 2011, declining significantly from approximately 2,660,100 thousand USD in 2005 to 832,900 thousand USD in 2011. After this low point, debt begins to rise again, reaching a peak of 5,614,000 thousand USD in 2017. Following the peak, total debt fluctuates slightly but generally remains above 5,000,000 thousand USD until 2021, where it settles at 5,025,300 thousand USD. This pattern indicates an initial period of debt reduction, followed by increased borrowing and sustained elevated debt levels in later years.
Total Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity exhibits a strong upward progression from 2005 to 2013, increasing from 3,213,500 thousand USD to 13,425,400 thousand USD. This near fourfold growth suggests considerable value accumulation or retained earnings during this time. However, after 2013, equity declines to approximately 9,531,800 thousand USD by the end of 2015 and remains relatively stable with minor fluctuations until 2019. From 2020 onwards, equity shows moderate recovery, rising to 10,604,100 thousand USD by the close of 2021, indicating stabilization and gradual improvement in the company’s net assets.
Debt to Equity Ratio
The debt to equity ratio decreases substantially from 0.83 in 2005 to a low of 0.07 in 2011. This denotes a strong reduction in leverage and implies a more conservative capital structure during this period. However, after 2011, the ratio increases again, peaking at 0.58 in 2017, consistent with the observed increase in total debt and the decline in equity around the same period. From 2017 through 2021, the ratio moderately declines to 0.47, suggesting a slight improvement in the balance between debt and equity but maintaining a higher leverage level compared to the earlier years.
Overall Trends and Insights
The company underwent a significant deleveraging phase from 2005 to 2011, marked by a reduction in total debt and rising equity, which led to a low debt-to-equity ratio. This phase indicates strengthening financial stability and reduced reliance on borrowed funds. From 2012 onwards, the trend reverses, with increasing debt levels and somewhat volatile equity, resulting in higher financial leverage. The rise in debt may reflect strategic financing decisions, expansion efforts, or reactions to market conditions. Despite increased leverage post-2011, the company maintains considerable equity levels, indicating sustained underlying financial strength. The post-2017 slight reduction in leverage suggests a cautious approach to managing debt relative to equity after a period of heightened borrowing.
