Additional capital disclosures | 30. Additional capital disclosures The key objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a stable capital structure with the focus on total equity to uphold investor, creditor, and customer confidence and to ensure future development of its business. The Company focuses on keeping a strong total equity base to ensure independence, security, as well as a high financial flexibility for potential future borrowings, if required, without impacting the risk profile of the Company. The capital structure as at March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
|  | As at March 31, |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | % Change |
Total equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company |  | $ | 552,419 |  |  | $ | 494,956 |  |  |  | 19 | %
As percentage of total capital |  |  | 90 | % |  |  | 85 | % |  |  |  |
Long term debt (1) |  |  | 61,800 |  |  |  | 89,900 |  |  |  | (24 | )%

Note:
(1) | Before netting off debt issuance cost of $409 and $769 as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
The Company is predominantly equity-financed. This is also evident from the fact that debt represents only 10% and 15% of total capital as at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
