The balance sheet exhibits a sustained expansion in both total liabilities and stockholders' equity from March 2021 through March 2026, reflecting a significant increase in the overall capital base. Total liabilities and stockholders' equity grew from 327,095 million USD to 703,919 million USD over the observed period.

Current Liabilities and Operational Obligations
Current liabilities demonstrated a steady upward trajectory, increasing from 55,453 million USD in March 2021 to 111,188 million USD by March 2026. This growth was largely propelled by a significant rise in accounts payable, which grew from 4,801 million USD to 16,852 million USD. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities also nearly doubled, rising from 32,625 million USD to 63,019 million USD, suggesting an increase in the scale of short-term operational commitments.
Long-Term Debt and Non-Current Liabilities
A marked acceleration in long-term liabilities is observed, particularly in the latter portion of the timeline. Long-term liabilities rose from 41,629 million USD in March 2021 to 113,985 million USD in March 2026. The primary driver of this increase was long-term debt, which remained relatively stable around 13,000 million USD to 14,000 million USD until mid-2024, after which it surged to 77,501 million USD by March 2026. This represents a substantial shift in the company's long-term financing strategy.
Stockholders' Equity and Retained Earnings
Stockholders' equity increased consistently from 230,013 million USD in March 2021 to 478,746 million USD in March 2026. This growth was predominantly fueled by retained earnings, which expanded from 170,580 million USD to 384,024 million USD, indicating strong cumulative profitability. Additionally, Class A, B, and C stock and additional paid-in capital rose from 59,436 million USD to 96,902 million USD.
Capital Structure and Leverage Observations
While the company maintained a strong equity position throughout the period, the ratio of liabilities to equity shifted notably toward the end of the timeline. From March 2021 to December 2023, total liabilities grew moderately relative to equity. However, between June 2025 and March 2026, liabilities increased rapidly due to the spike in long-term debt, altering the leverage profile of the balance sheet.
