International Paper Company Balance Sheet 2025-2011 | IP
Brief overview of International Paper Company's assets and capital
The review uses the five latest available annual reports between 2015 and 2019.
Across five periods, assets reached $33.5 billion versus $30.6 billion initially. Growth of +9.4% reflects gradual development.
Liabilities increased less than assets, posting -3.5% versus +9.4%. That relationship usually strengthens the balance sheet.
Equity covers only 23% of assets versus 12.7% initially. The loss-absorbing cushion is limited.
The net-debt-to-equity ratio reached 2x. High leverage materially limits financial flexibility.
Cash represents 1.5% of assets versus 3.4% initially, showing how the immediate liquidity reserve changed.
Retained earnings stand at $8.4 billion; the five-period change was +80.9%. This reflects accumulated business performance.
Overall assessment
The balance sheet gives no single signal for International Paper Company: some indicators are sound, while leverage or capitalization needs attention.

Balance Sheet is a fundamental financial report of International Paper Company, providing a complete picture of the company’s financial position at a specific point in time. Unlike the income statement, which records the results of operations over a certain period, the balance sheet shows what assets the company owns, what liabilities it has to creditors, and what equity is available to the owners.
For an investor, the balance sheet is important because it allows assessing the company’s financial stability, understanding how much debt it carries, and how dependent it is on borrowed financing. It helps calculate key liquidity and leverage ratios. When analyzing, attention should be paid to the debt-to-equity ratio (Debt/Equity), the amount of cash on the balance sheet, and the ratio of current liabilities to liquid assets.
Features of balance sheet analysis- Vertical and horizontal analysis
Vertical analysis shows the structure of the balance sheet as a percentage of total assets or liabilities, while horizontal analysis shows the dynamics of changes over multiple periods. - Asset quality
It is important to evaluate not only the amount of assets but also their liquidity and realizability. - Accounting for off-balance sheet liabilities
Some liabilities may not be directly reflected in the balance sheet, which requires additional attention.
