Current Liabilities
Current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity showed an overall increasing trend from 8.39% in late 2020 to peak at 10.82% by late 2025. Within this category, contract liabilities exhibited significant growth, rising from 3.45% to 5.53%, indicating an increase in unearned revenue or obligations related to contracts. Accounts payable fluctuated modestly, while short-term debt demonstrated volatility with a notable surge to 2.21% in 2023 followed by a decrease and another increase. Other current liabilities also increased, reflecting growing short-term obligations.
Long-term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity declined steadily from 60.13% in 2020 down to 41.67% in 2025. The largest component, long-term debt excluding the current portion, showed a marked reduction from approximately 53% to 36%, indicating a strategic deleveraging or repayment of debt over the period. Other long-term liabilities fluctuated but were generally lower in later years, despite a spike in 2024. Deferred tax liabilities appeared only in 2023 and 2024, suggesting changes in tax-related accounting or reporting. Unrecognized tax benefits, interest, and penalties steadily decreased, signaling resolution or payoff of prior tax uncertainties.
Interest Payable and Tax Liabilities
Interest payable as part of current liabilities remained relatively stable but with a slight declining tendency after 2022, possibly reflecting the reduction in interest-bearing debt. Tax liabilities fluctuated but generally trended downward, consistent with the reduction in overall tax-related obligations.
Equity Components
Stockholders’ equity increased significantly from 31.44% to 47.51% over the time frame, reflecting an enhanced equity base relative to total liabilities and equity. This increase was primarily driven by rising additional paid-in capital, which moved from around 31.58% to 41.68%, signalling possible equity financing or retained earnings reinvestment contributing to the capital structure. Retained earnings showed some variability but increased overall, supporting the strengthening equity position. Accumulated other comprehensive income improved from negative to slightly positive values, indicating gains in other comprehensive income items.
Total Liabilities and Equity
Total liabilities as a proportion of total liabilities and equity exhibited a declining pattern from 68.52% in 2020 to 52.49% in 2025. This trend, paired with the rising equity share, suggests a deliberate shift toward strengthening the company’s equity financing while reducing reliance on liabilities, particularly long-term debt. The capital structure thus appears to have become more balanced and less leveraged over the years analyzed.
Summary
The overall financial trends indicate a shift toward lower leverage, with a substantial reduction in long-term debt and a concomitant increase in equity funding. Current liabilities increased slightly, mainly due to contract liabilities and other current obligations. Tax-related liabilities and unrecognized tax benefits decreased, reflecting better tax management or resolution of outstanding tax matters. The company’s capital structure improved in terms of equity proportion, contributing to a stronger financial position and potentially greater financial flexibility.
