- Current Portion of Operating Lease Liabilities
- This liability steadily increased over the period, moving from around $3.3 billion in March 2020 to over $11.5 billion by June 2025. The growth indicates an increasing short-term obligation related to operating leases.
- Current Portion of Finance Lease Liabilities
- This component showed a clear downward trend, decreasing from about $9.8 billion in March 2020 to roughly $1.4 billion by June 2025, indicating a reduction in short-term finance lease obligations.

- Other Current Liabilities
- Amounts classified as "Other" and "Accrued Expenses and Other" generally rose over time. The "Other" category increased from $16 billion to nearly $49 billion by mid-2025, while accrued expenses increased from about $31 billion to over $66 billion, reflective of growing operational or accrued obligations.

- Long-Term Lease Liabilities
- Long-term operating lease liabilities excluding the current portion increased steadily from about $24 billion to over $73 billion by mid-2025, while finance lease liabilities decreased from roughly $16.5 billion to under $10 billion.
