- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable exhibits notable volatility across the observed periods, generally displaying an increasing trend from early 2022 through 2025, peaking at various points such as $4,280 million by June 2025. This suggests increased short-term obligations to suppliers or vendors in recent quarters.
- Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
- These liabilities have risen steadily over the timeline, advancing from about $1,255 million in March 2020 to $6,047 million by June 2025, indicating growing current obligations likely related to accrued costs and payable expenses.
- Deferred Merchant Bookings
- This item fluctuates substantially, showing significant increases during mid-2021 (peaking at $6,040 million), a decrease thereafter, followed by another surge reaching $9,149 million by June 2025. These swings may reflect varying timing in recognizing merchant revenues and deferred liabilities.
- Short-term Debt
- Short-term debt demonstrates irregular movements with a marked increase to $3,905 million in March 2021 before declining steadily to $655 million in June 2025. This pattern suggests active management of short-term borrowings over the period.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities have consistently increased, from $4,136 million in March 2020 to $18,636 million by June 2025, reflecting the rising trends observed in accounts payable and accrued expenses, indicative of the company’s expanding short-term financial obligations.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes generally decline over time, decreasing from $786 million in March 2020 to a low of $36 million by June 2025, which may indicate changes in tax assets/liabilities or tax planning strategies affecting future income tax expenses.
- Non-current Operating Lease Liabilities
- This liability remains relatively stable, fluctuating modestly between approximately $300 million and $600 million, with no significant upward or downward trend, suggesting consistent lease obligations over the period.
- Long-term U.S. Transition Tax Liability
- The long-term U.S. transition tax liability shows a steady decrease from $1,021 million in March 2020 to $257 million by June 2025, reflecting either scheduled payments or remeasurements reducing this liability.
- Other Long-term Liabilities
- Other long-term liabilities remain relatively stable with minor fluctuations until a sharp increase to $679 million by June 2025. This sudden rise may represent newly recognized or reclassified obligations late in the period.
- Long-term Debt
- Long-term debt exhibits some volatility but generally trends upward over the timeframe, rising significantly from $7,553 million in March 2020 to $17,473 million by June 2025, indicating increased leverage or financing through long-term borrowings.
- Long-term Liabilities
- Overall long-term liabilities fluctuate but show a rising trend, increasing from roughly $9,891 million to $18,705 million by June 2025, in line with rises in long-term debt and other liabilities.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities have expanded substantially, nearly doubling from $14,027 million in March 2020 to $37,341 million by June 2025, suggesting significant growth in the company’s total obligation base over the years.
- Convertible Debt
- Convertible debt is minimal and sporadically recorded, indicating it is not a major component of the capital structure.
- Common Stock
- Common stock value remains virtually unchanged and nominal throughout, implying no major issuance or retirement of shares in par value terms.
- Treasury Stock
- Treasury stock consistently increases in absolute value (more negative), growing from -$24,115 million to -$51,502 million, reflecting ongoing share repurchases or holdings, which reduce outstanding share count and equity.
- Additional Paid-in Capital
- This equity component gradually rises from $5,758 million to $8,028 million, indicating incremental capital contributions or equity transactions increasing paid-in capital over time.
- Retained Earnings
- Retained earnings show a positive growth trend from $22,530 million to $37,119 million, signifying accumulated profits retained in the business, boosting shareholder equity despite fluctuations elsewhere.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- The accumulated other comprehensive loss fluctuates moderately, generally increasing in absolute negative terms from -$342 million to around -$387 million, suggesting ongoing recognized losses in items such as foreign currency translation or pension adjustments.
- Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- Stockholders’ equity transitions from a positive position of $3,831 million in March 2020 to a deficit nearing -$6,657 million by June 2025, indicating that liabilities exceed equity—a notable decline likely due to increasing treasury stock and other factors reducing equity.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- The total balance between liabilities and equity increases from $17,862 million to $30,684 million, reflecting growth in overall financing but also the shift from positive equity into deficit territory, underscoring increasing leverage and changing capital structure dynamics.
