- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable as a percentage of total liabilities and equity demonstrated a fluctuating but overall upward trend from March 2021 through September 2025. Starting at 6.03%, it declined to around 4% through late 2021, then gradually increased after early 2023, peaking at 10.43% in June 2025 before slightly declining to 8.14% in the last available period.
- Accrued and Other Current Liabilities
- This liability category showed a relatively stable pattern with a moderate upward trend after 2022. Initially declining from 5.13% in early 2021 to around 2.7% by late 2021, it remained mostly stable through 2022. From early 2023 onwards, it increased noticeably, reaching a high of 9.49% in June 2025 before a slight decrease.
- Short-term Debt
- Short-term debt was minimal and steady between 0.4% and 0.7% for most periods until a notable spike occurred in the second half of 2023, reaching over 4%. However, this sharp increase was temporary, with levels reverting near prior low values by mid-2024. Data for some of the latest periods is missing.
- Deferred Revenue
- Deferred revenue remained consistent and low over the timeline, fluctuating between 0.7% to around 3.3%, with a declining tendency throughout 2024 and 2025, indicating a slight reduction in advance payments or service obligations.
- Deferred Acquisition Costs, Current
- The current deferred acquisition costs consistently decreased from 3.43% in early 2021 to below 0.5% by late 2023, with data gaps in later periods. This points to a diminishing proportion of acquisition-related expenses held as current assets relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities experienced volatility, declining from 18.56% in early 2021 to approximately 9.3% by late 2021. After fluctuating mildly through 2022 and 2023, they increased sharply towards mid-2025, peaking at 24.69% in March 2025 before trending downward. This suggests increasing short-term obligations relative to total financing components during this latter phase.
- Long-term Debt
- This category showed a significant decline overall, falling from a very high 81.54% in March 2021 to about 55.37% by September 2025. The proportion decreased steeply early on and then exhibited modest fluctuations around the mid-50s percentiles, indicating a gradual reduction of long-term debt relative to the total capital structure.
- Other Non-current Liabilities
- These liabilities remained relatively stable throughout the period, generally ranging between 2.8% and 5%, without clear upward or downward trends, suggesting steady levels of miscellaneous non-current obligations.
- Non-current Liabilities (Aggregate)
- Non-current liabilities as a whole declined from 86.4% in early 2021 to just under 60% by late 2025. The share peaked in late 2021 and early 2022 near 58% to 71%, then exhibited a downward trend toward the end of the timeline, consistent with the decline in long-term debt.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities increased from approximately 56.6% in mid-2021 to a peak of about 89.92% in early 2025, before declining again to 76.76% by late 2025. This reflects growing reliance on liabilities relative to equity for a substantial portion of the period, followed by some deleveraging.
- Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Preferred Stock
- Redeemable noncontrolling interest and preferred stock remained negligible or zero throughout the periods reviewed.
- Convertible Preferred Stock
- Convertible preferred stock appeared only in the initial reported quarter at 15.24% and was absent thereafter, indicating a one-time or discontinued capital instrument.
- Common Stock
- The common stock figure remained constant at zero percent of total capital components, reflecting either a minimal par value or accounting classification.
- Additional Paid-in Capital
- This equity component showed a pronounced decline, starting from a high level above 65% in mid-2021 and steadily decreasing to around 6.75% by late 2025. The contraction suggests a reduction in capital surplus relative to total liabilities and equity, potentially from share repurchases, amortizations, or other equity transactions.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- The accumulated other comprehensive loss remained a small negative value throughout, showing minor fluctuations between approximately 0 to -2.4%, with a slight tendency toward reduced loss by late 2025.
- Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit)
- Retained earnings started deeply negative at -39% in early 2021 and showed gradual improvement over the years, transitioning from a deficit towards positive territory by mid-2024 and strengthening further to around 16.5% by late 2025. This reflects a recovery in accumulated profitability or reduction of losses over time.
- Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- Overall equity experienced significant variability, starting from a negative position of -4.96% in early 2021 but rising sharply to 44.86% in late 2021. Subsequently, there was a declining trend through 2023 with a bottom near 14%, followed by a gradual increase to over 23% by the end of the analyzed period. This trend reveals fluctuations in equity composition with some recovery in recent years.
- Total Capital Structure
- The makeup of total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and stockholders’ equity remained consistently balanced at 100%, as expected by definition.
