Accounts Payable
Accounts payable fluctuated over the periods with an initial decrease from 4,099 million USD in March 2020 to 4,064 million USD in June 2020. It then increased, peaking at 7,493 million USD in December 2021 before declining and stabilizing around 8,347 million USD at the end of June 2025. Overall, there is an upward trend in accounts payable, indicating growing short-term obligations to suppliers and creditors.
Accrued Compensation and Benefits
Accrued compensation and benefits showed a consistent increase from 5,656 million USD in March 2020 to a high of 15,140 million USD in December 2021. Following this peak, values declined somewhat but remained elevated, ending at 12,168 million USD in June 2025. The growth suggests rising employee-related expenses over the analyzed period.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
These liabilities presented a steady increase, rising from 23,514 million USD in March 2020 to 55,602 million USD in September 2023. A slight dip occurred afterward but values hovered close to 52,039 million USD by June 2025. This reflects an overall increase in short-term liabilities beyond payables and compensation.
Accrued Revenue Share
The accrued revenue share showed a gradual upward trend, increasing from 4,982 million USD in March 2020 to 9,965 million USD in March 2025, with minor fluctuations. This indicates growing obligations to partners or stakeholders based on revenue-sharing agreements.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue metrics rose notably over time, from 1,938 million USD in March 2020 to a peak near 5,036 million USD in June 2025. The steady increase implies higher prepaid revenues or advance billings requiring future recognition.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities showed a marked upward trajectory, rising from 40,189 million USD in March 2020 to 91,654 million USD by September 2024, followed by a slight decrease to 87,310 million USD in June 2025. The substantial increase signals expanding short-term financial obligations.
Long-term Debt, Excluding Current Portion
Long-term debt exhibited volatility, initially decreasing then spiking to 13,902 million USD in September 2020. Afterward, a declining trend is evident toward 10,886 million USD in June 2025, before a significant rise to 23,607 million USD by the same date, indicating increased leveraging in the latter period.
Income Taxes Payable, Non-current
This liability showed moderate fluctuations but generally remained in the 8,000 to 9,700 million USD range, ending at 10,027 million USD in June 2025. The pattern indicates relatively stable longer-term tax liabilities with a slight increasing bias near the end of the timeline.
Long-term Operating Lease Liabilities
These liabilities grew modestly from 10,476 million USD in March 2020 to approximately 12,000 million USD by 2025, reflecting increasing commitments under long-term leases.
Other Long-term Liabilities
Other long-term liabilities were variable, peaking intermittently, with a notable increase to over 6,200 million USD by mid-2025 after a low point near 2,990 million USD in December 2022. This fluctuation may reflect contingent obligations or periodic adjustments in non-debt long-term liabilities.
Long-term Liabilities
The total long-term liabilities increased from 29,555 million USD in March 2020 to a peak over 43,379 million USD in December 2021, followed by a general decrease to 37,214 million USD in September 2023. However, a resurgence occurred, reaching 51,827 million USD by June 2025, signifying overall growth in long-term obligations.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities reflected a steady rise from 69,744 million USD in March 2020 to 123,509 million USD in September 2023, with a further increase to 139,137 million USD by June 2025. This consistent growth underlines an expansion in the total debt and obligations of the entity over the analyzed periods.
Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
Common stock and additional paid-in capital steadily increased from 53,688 million USD in March 2020 to 89,283 million USD by June 2025. This likely reflects ongoing equity financing or retained investment inputs.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
This figure demonstrated increasing negative balances over time, moving from a loss of 1,097 million USD in March 2020 to a loss peaking around 8,852 million USD in September 2022 before partially recovering to a loss of 2,127 million USD in June 2025. The trend suggests growing unrealized losses or comprehensive expense fluctuations.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings consistently grew from 151,068 million USD in March 2020 to 275,760 million USD by June 2025, indicating substantial accumulated profits retained in the business over the timeframe.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders’ equity exhibited strong growth throughout the periods, rising from 203,659 million USD in March 2020 to 362,916 million USD by June 2025. This reflects the overall increase in net assets attributable to shareholders, supported by growing retained earnings and paid-in capital.
Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
The sum of liabilities and equity increased steadily from 273,403 million USD in March 2020 to over 502,053 million USD by June 2025, consistent with the substantial growth in both liabilities and equity components.
