The analysis of the reported debt data over the five-year period reveals several key trends and observations related to the company's debt structure.
- Current debt, net
- Data for current net debt is only available for the year ending December 31, 2021, with a value of $92 million. No information is provided for the other years, making it impossible to analyze trends or fluctuations in short-term debt obligations over the period.
- Long-term debt, net, less current portion
- This metric shows a slight downward trend from $1,640 million in 2020 to $1,484 million in 2021, followed by minimal increases in subsequent years: $1,486 million in 2022, $1,488 million in 2023, and $1,489 million in 2024. Overall, the long-term net debt remains relatively stable with a marginal decrease at the beginning of the period and a very gradual increase towards the end.
- Total long-term debt (carrying amount)
- The carrying amount of total long-term debt indicates a drop from $1,640 million in 2020 to $1,576 million in 2021, then a more pronounced decline to $1,486 million in 2022. Following this, there is a very slight increase over the next two years, ending at $1,489 million in 2024. This pattern suggests a reduction of outstanding long-term debt obligations primarily between 2020 and 2022, with stabilization occurring afterwards.
Summarizing, the company's long-term debt demonstrates a trend of moderate reduction during the early years, with subsequent stabilization and slight increments in the later years. The limited availability of current debt data restricts a full evaluation of short-term debt dynamics. Overall, the long-term debt levels indicate prudent management with no major increases, suggesting an approach focused on maintaining or slightly reducing leverage.
