Accounts Payable
Accounts payable exhibited notable volatility over the observed periods. Initially increasing steadily from March 2020 to December 2021, it experienced considerable fluctuations with sharp rises in some quarters, notably in the last three quarters ending March 2025, peaking at $8,497 million. The trend suggests heightened short-term obligations in recent periods.
Accrued Compensation and Benefits
This liability demonstrated a clear upward trajectory from March 2020 through December 2021, followed by cyclical fluctuations with recurrent increases and decreases. Post-2021, accrued compensation levels maintained relatively high values, implying significant ongoing compensation obligations with increasing peaks in December quarters.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
This category expanded substantially over the entire timeframe, rising from $23,514 million in March 2020 to $58,300 million by March 2025, with some short-term fluctuations. This increasing trend reflects growth in short-term liabilities, potentially due to operational scaling or increased payables aside from accounts payable.
Accrued Revenue Share
This item grew steadily, with some minor variability. Starting from approximately $4,982 million in March 2020, it rose to nearly $9,965 million by March 2025. This indicates a sustained increase in revenue sharing obligations over the years.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue showed a consistent overall increase, rising from $1,938 million in March 2020 to peak around $5,036 million in June 2024, with slight variability thereafter. This growth points to an expanding base of pre-collected income or services to be rendered in the future.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased markedly, from about $40,189 million in early 2020 to $91,654 million in March 2025. Despite some cyclical variations, the overall upward trend denotes increasing short-term financial obligations consistent with company growth or operational demands.
Long-Term Debt, Excluding Current Portion
Long-term debt was relatively stable with minor decreases starting from a peak in late 2020 through early 2021. A decreasing trend emerged from March 2023 onward, moving from approximately $13,697 million to around $10,886 million by March 2025, suggesting active debt reduction or refinancing activities.
Income Taxes Payable, Non-Current
Non-current income taxes payable fluctuated moderately between $7,703 million and $9,773 million, showing no clear long-term increasing or decreasing trend but rather variability in tax-related liabilities.
Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities
Lease liabilities showed a gradual increase early on, peaking near $12,799 million in March 2023, followed by a modest decline and stabilization around $11,600 million through to the end of 2024 and early 2025.
Other Long-Term Liabilities
This item exhibited significant volatility, with sharp declines until late 2022, followed by a recovery and subsequent increase into 2025. Fluctuations suggest variability in contingent or miscellaneous obligations over time.
Long-Term Liabilities
Overall, long-term liabilities surged in late 2020 and early 2021, peaking close to $43,379 million, then gradually declined to approximately $38,453 million by March 2025. This pattern indicates management of long-term obligations with possible debt repayments or reclassifications.
Total Liabilities
The total liabilities rose substantially from about $69,744 million in March 2020 to a peak of $123,509 million by December 2022, followed by fluctuations and a general upward trend reaching $130,107 million by March 2025, highlighting growing overall financial obligations.
Stockholders' Equity Components
Class A, B, and C Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital
This item increased steadily throughout the period, reflecting continuous capital injections or retained earnings additions, growing from $53,688 million in early 2020 to $86,725 million by March 2025.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
This component consistently showed negative values, worsening substantially until late 2022, but with some recovery thereafter. The overall negative balance indicates unrealized losses or other comprehensive expense impacts.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings exhibited a strong growth trend, rising from $151,068 million in March 2020 to $262,628 million by March 2025. This reflects sustained profitability and earnings retention over the period.
Stockholders’ Equity and Total Capitalization
Stockholders' equity increased continually, from $203,659 million in March 2020 to $345,267 million in March 2025, driven by growth in retained earnings and paid-in capital despite accumulated comprehensive losses. Total capitalization represented by liabilities plus equity grew from approximately $273,403 million to $475,374 million, signifying significant expansion.
