- Accounts Payable
- The proportion of accounts payable to the total of liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and stockholders’ equity shows a general upward trend over the period analyzed. Starting around 6.03% in early 2021, it fluctuates in the following quarters but rises steadily from mid-2023 onward, reaching a peak exceeding 10% by mid-2025. This indicates an increasing share of short-term payables in the company's financial structure.
- Accrued and Other Current Liabilities
- This category initially registers at 5.13% in early 2021, then declines through 2021 to stabilize around 3% in 2022. It begins to rise again starting late 2023, peaking at approximately 9.49% by mid-2025, suggesting an increased accumulation of accrued expenses or other current obligations towards the later periods.
- Short-term Debt
- Short-term debt remains minimal and relatively stable, below 1% for most of the period, except for an unusual spike to over 4% around late 2023 and early 2024. There is missing data for some quarters in 2024 and 2025, but the general pattern indicates that short-term borrowings are not a significant component of the company’s liabilities.
- Deferred Revenue
- Deferred revenue declines from 3.28% to around 1.2% to 1.3% through 2021 and 2022, with a minor increase during 2023, followed by a slight decrease into 2025. This trend implies a decreasing proportion of revenue received but not yet earned relative to the total financing structure.
- Deferred Acquisition Costs, Current
- This item shows a marked decrease from 3.43% in early 2021 down to below 1% by late 2023, with data not available for the last few quarters. The declining trend suggests reduced capitalization of acquisition-related costs on a current basis over time.
- Current Liabilities
- The share of current liabilities in the total financing mix decreases sharply from 18.56% in early 2021 to around 9-10% by late 2022. However, it rises again from late 2023 to reach nearly 25% by mid-2025, indicating a significant increase in short-term financial obligations in the most recent periods.
- Long-term Debt
- Long-term debt proportion shows volatility beginning at 81.54% in early 2021, then dropping sharply to around 38% by mid-2021, and rising again fluctuating between roughly 50% and 66% through 2024. The percentage lowers somewhat afterward but remains the dominant form of liabilities, underscoring the company’s reliance on long-term borrowings throughout the period.
- Other Non-current Liabilities
- This component fluctuates modestly between 2.8% and 5% over the period, with no major structural shifts. It tends to remain a small but stable part of the overall financial obligations.
- Non-current Liabilities
- Non-current liabilities, composed largely of long-term debt and other non-current items, demonstrate a pronounced increase from about 43% in mid-2021 to over 70% by early 2024, followed by a slight decline to around 62% by mid-2025. This highlights sustained emphasis on longer-duration financial commitments.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities relative to the aggregate financing components decrease sharply after early 2021 from above 100% to near 55% by late 2021, then steadily rise back towards 80-90% in the later years. This pattern indicates a shift towards leverage increase after initial deleveraging.
- Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Preferred Stock
- Redeemable noncontrolling interest is negligible and disappears after early 2021. Similarly, there is no issuance of preferred stock during the analyzed periods, indicating no capital structure impact from these items.
- Common Stock
- The common stock category remains at zero percent consistently, indicating no changes or issuances affecting this account relative to total financing sources.
- Additional Paid-in Capital
- This equity component dramatically increases from under 20% in early 2021 to above 65% in mid-2021, then trends downward continuously to around 7.5% by mid-2025. This substantial decrease in relative size possibly reflects share repurchases or equity reductions over time.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- Comprehensive losses increase steadily (more negative) from zero in early 2021 to nearly -2.4% by mid-2022, then oscillate around -1% to -1.7% before returning close to zero by mid-2025. This movement indicates some volatility but overall relatively small impact on the equity section.
- Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit)
- Retained earnings start negative at nearly -39% in early 2021, improve steadily towards zero and even positive territory reaching over 12% by mid-2025. The improvement signals ongoing efforts in profitability or earnings retention, leading to decreasing accumulated deficits and eventual positive retained earnings.
- Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- Stockholders' equity shifts from a negative position (-4.96%) in early 2021 to a considerable positive range (above 40%) in mid-2021 before declining steadily to around 14-18% during 2023-2024, and fluctuating thereafter between 10% and 20% by mid-2025. The equity position fluctuates but remains positive after early 2021, indicating recovery and stabilization over time.
- Total Liabilities, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest, and Stockholders’ Equity
- All components combined always sum to 100%, ensuring consistency in proportional analysis throughout the periods.
