The analysis of the financial data indicates several notable trends in the composition of liabilities and shareholders’ equity over the five-year period.
- Current Liabilities
- Overall, current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity fluctuated modestly, starting at 5.21% in 2018, dipping slightly in 2020 to 5.07%, and increasing gradually to 5.9% by 2022. Accounts payable showed a small decline in 2020 before rising again, reflecting some variability. Labor and fringe benefits payable declined until 2020 and then showed a steady increase through 2022. Income and other taxes payable were lower in 2019 and 2020 but increased in 2021 before decreasing again in 2022. Other current liabilities remained relatively stable, holding around 0.5% in the latter years.
- Reserves
- Casualty, environmental, and other reserves exhibited a minor decreasing trend from 0.31% in 2018 to 0.23% in 2020 but rose again to 0.34% in 2022 for current reserves, and similarly increased in long-term reserves from 0.57% to 0.7%. Environmental reserves, in particular, showed notable growth in both current and long-term classifications, suggesting increasing provisions related to environmental factors.
- Long-term Debt and Liabilities
- Long-term debt, excluding the current portion, displayed a general upward trend after a slight dip in 2021, culminating at 42.7% in 2022, the highest in the observed period. Deferred income taxes remained fairly constant around 18%. Other long-term liabilities declined gradually from 2018 to 2021 before a slight increase in 2022. Long-term operating lease liabilities appeared starting in 2019 and stabilized near 1.15%, indicating the recognition of such obligations during this period. The total long-term liabilities showed a decrease from 63.37% in 2019 to 61.18% in 2021, followed by a substantial increase to 63.98% in 2022.
- Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
- Total liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity increased overall from 65.75% in 2018 to 69.88% in 2022, reflecting a higher leverage position in the most recent year. Conversely, total shareholders’ equity declined from 34.25% in 2018 to 30.12% in 2022, with a temporary increase around 2020 and 2021. Retained earnings showed a significant decrease, particularly after 2020, nearly 8.37 percentage points down by 2022, which may indicate distribution of earnings or other adjustments. Common stock percentage saw a notable rise in 2021 to 5.43% from previous low levels but dropped slightly in 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive loss showed continual improvement by decreasing the negative balance from -1.8% to -0.93%, positively impacting equity.
In summary, the company’s financial structure over these years is characterized by increased reliance on liabilities, particularly long-term debt, alongside a declining trend in shareholders’ equity. The reserves related to environmental issues have notably increased, highlighting potential emerging obligations. The relatively stable deferred tax liabilities and fluctuating current liabilities indicate ongoing management of short-term obligations. The rise and fall in common stock and other capital suggest equity transactions influencing capital structure in recent years. Overall, the trends suggest a moderate increase in financial leverage with equity components experiencing some compression.
