The data from 2022–2024 show that KKR materially expanded its balance sheet: total assets rose from $275,347m in 2022 to $360,099m in 2024 (≈+30.8%), with roughly steady year-to-year gains of ~13–15%. Total liabilities grew from $219,976m to $298,115m over the same period (≈+35.5%), meaning liabilities expanded slightly faster than assets. Stockholders’ equity increased from $18,808m to $23,652m (≈+25.8%), but the pace of equity growth slowed in 2024 (only ≈3.5% from 2023 to 2024 versus ≈21.6% the prior year). Because liabilities rose a bit faster than assets, leverage nudged upward: the liabilities/assets ratio moved from ≈80.0% (2022) to ≈82.8% (2024), while the equity/assets ratio stayed low (roughly 6–7%), falling slightly from 7.2% in 2023 to 6.6% in 2024. For an alternative-asset manager like KKR, large consolidated assets and significant borrowings are not uncommon, but the modest increase in leverage and the deceleration in equity growth in 2024 are noteworthy — they could reflect higher external financing, capital returned to shareholders/LPs, or slower retained earnings growth. Finally, 2021 and 2025 show missing/zero asset and liability entries, so trend conclusions are most reliable for 2022–2024 only.
