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.

Accounts Payable: Accounts payable exhibited fluctuations over the periods analyzed, starting at $985 million and generally trending upward with notable peaks reaching above $1.7 billion near the end of the timeline. This suggests variable payment schedules or changing vendor terms over time.
Employee Compensation and Benefits: There is a clear upward trend in employee compensation and benefits from $435 million to over $2.1 billion. This notable increase could reflect expansion efforts, inflationary pressures, or increased headcount and compensation adjustments.
Short-term Debt: Short-term debt decreased significantly early on, dropping from $2.3 billion to approximately $278 million, before rising again sharply to peaks above $5.6 billion. This pattern indicates strategic borrowing and repayment cycles with heightened borrowing activity in the later periods.
Other Current Liabilities: Other current liabilities showed relative stability initially with values between approximately $4.0 billion and $5.0 billion, but experienced a dramatic increase to over $15 billion later in the timeline. This surge might relate to accrued expenses, deferred revenues, or other operational obligations expanding significantly.
Current Liabilities: Current liabilities fluctuated around $6.3 billion to $7.5 billion before spiking sharply to levels exceeding $20 billion in the last measured periods. This jump corresponds with increases in both short-term debt and other current liabilities, pointing to higher near-term obligations.
Long-term Debt: Long-term debt remained relatively steady in the $37 billion to $45 billion range initially, then nearly doubled to above $73 billion in the later periods. Such an increase suggests substantial debt issuance or restructuring efforts to support capital projects or acquisitions.
Other Long-term Liabilities: Other long-term liabilities generally declined from about $6.5 billion to below $4 billion initially, but later rose sharply again to a peak near $16 billion before decreasing somewhat. This could indicate long-term obligations being reclassified or increased contingent liabilities over time.
Long-term Liabilities: Overall long-term liabilities followed a pattern similar to its components, starting around $48 billion, declining modestly, then surging past $87 billion before stabilizing around $71 billion toward the end. This reflects significant shifts in the company’s financing and obligation structure.
Total Liabilities: Total liabilities hovered around $50 billion initially and then more than doubled to over $107 billion before gradually declining to near $90 billion. The sharp rise and subsequent decline indicate active management of debt and other liabilities in response to business needs.
Preferred Stock Dividend Obligation: The preferred stock dividend obligation remained stable and minor, consistently near $27–$28 million, with no significant changes noted.
Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital: Common stock data is sparse but shows a minor and steady presence. Additional paid-in capital started near $24.5 billion, saw a decrease to about $20.9 billion mid-period, then increased substantially to above $70 billion, indicating equity financing activities, issuance of shares, or capital restructuring.
Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit): This measure showed variability with some periods missing data. Initially absent, it appears as positive values later, peaking at $9.8 billion, with an intermittent negative figure indicating a loss or adjustment. This trend suggests fluctuating earnings retention or distributions impacting accumulated capital.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): Initially showing small negative balances around -$130 million, this category turned positive in later periods, reaching around $220 million. This shift reflects changes in unrealized gains or losses on investments, foreign currency items, or pension adjustments.
Stockholders’ Equity: Equity was relatively stable around $24 billion initially, then experienced a pronounced increase to above $81 billion. This rise is consistent with growth in paid-in capital and retained earnings, showing enhanced shareholder value over time.
Total Liabilities and Equity: The total of liabilities and equity started near $81 billion, increasing sharply above $177 billion at its peak, and then settled around $171 billion. The substantial growth reflects the cumulative effect of increased liabilities and equity financing within the company.
