Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several notable trends and fluctuations in the company's liabilities and equity components over the observed periods.
- Current Liabilities
- Accounts payable exhibited considerable volatility, with values ranging from 570 million USD to a peak of 4,065 million USD, indicating fluctuations in short-term obligations to suppliers. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities showed a general upward trajectory, increasing from 1,255 million USD in early 2020 to over 6,000 million USD by early 2025. Deferred merchant bookings displayed significant variability, with spikes and declines through the quarters, peaking notably at 6,931 million USD in mid-2024 before fluctuating again.
- Short-term Debt
- This liability peaked sharply at 3,905 million USD in the first quarter of 2021 but generally decreased afterward, reaching a low of 500 million USD by the end of 2022 before a slight increase and then a decline to 655 million USD by the first quarter of 2025, suggesting efforts toward managing and reducing short-term borrowings over time.
- Current Liabilities (aggregate)
- The overall current liabilities reflected a growth trend from 4,136 million USD to a high of 18,206 million USD in the third quarter of 2024 before slightly decreasing to approximately 16,394 million USD by early 2025, signifying increasing short-term financial obligations that may be linked to operational expansion or increased transactional volume.
- Long-term Liabilities
- Long-term components, including long-term debt and other liabilities, displayed a mixed pattern. Long-term debt experienced fluctuations around the 8,000 to 15,000 million USD range, with peaks in late 2022 and continuing high levels through 2025, indicating sustained debt financing. Other liabilities maintained a relatively stable range with minor increases toward the end of the period.
- Deferred Income Taxes and Lease Liabilities
- Deferred income taxes declined over the analyzed periods, dropping from 786 million USD to 154 million USD by early 2025, which may reflect changes in tax obligations or asset base. Non-current operating lease liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating slightly but without significant directional change.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities rose from approximately 14,027 million USD to over 33,000 million USD by the first quarter of 2025, almost doubling over the period. This substantial increase underscores an expansion in both short-term and long-term obligations.
- Equity Position
- The stockholders’ equity declined sharply from positive territory of 3,831 million USD to a deficit position, reaching negative 6,112 million USD at the end of the observed timeline. Treasury stock steadily increased in negative value, indicating a substantial accumulation of treasury shares. Additional paid-in capital showed gradual growth, suggesting ongoing equity financing activities. Retained earnings grew steadily, reflecting accumulated profits, but this was insufficient to offset treasury stock and comprehensive loss impacts. Accumulated other comprehensive loss remained negative throughout, impacting overall equity.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
- This total metric increased in the earlier periods but showed some volatility and a slight decline toward the end of the data range, signaling a complex interaction between increasing liabilities and declining equity.
In summary, the data indicate a substantial increase in the company's liabilities, particularly current liabilities and total liabilities, over the period analyzed. Despite growth in retained earnings and paid-in capital, equity weakened considerably due to treasury stock dynamics and accumulated losses. The ongoing increase in long-term debt and liabilities points to a leveraged financial structure, while fluctuations in current liabilities suggest variable operational and financing conditions.
