The overall balance sheet has expanded over the observed period, with total liabilities and shareholders' equity increasing from 37,439 million USD in March 2018 to 41,478 million USD by March 2023. This growth is primarily driven by a substantial increase in long-term liabilities, which offset a gradual decline in total shareholders' equity.

Liability Structure and Trends
Total liabilities exhibited a consistent upward trajectory, rising from 23,048 million USD to 29,144 million USD. The primary driver of this increase was long-term debt, excluding the current portion, which grew from 13,768 million USD in March 2018 to 17,911 million USD in March 2023. Additionally, deferred income taxes, net, showed a steady climb from 6,485 million USD to 7,605 million USD over the same period.
Current liabilities fluctuated throughout the period, starting at 1,891 million USD and ending at 2,321 million USD. A notable spike occurred in September 2019, where current liabilities peaked at 2,805 million USD, largely influenced by a temporary surge in the current maturities of long-term debt, which reached 745 million USD during that quarter before stabilizing at lower levels.
Equity and Capital Analysis
Total shareholders' equity experienced a general decline, falling from 14,391 million USD in March 2018 to 12,334 million USD in March 2023. This contraction is most evident in retained earnings, which decreased significantly from 13,873 million USD to 10,092 million USD, suggesting a consistent return of capital to shareholders or losses that exceeded net income over the five-year window.
A significant shift in the common stock account occurred in June 2021, where the value jumped from 757 million USD in March 2021 to 2,254 million USD, indicating a major restructuring of equity or a specific issuance of shares.
Financial Position Insights
The company's leverage profile has shifted toward a higher reliance on long-term debt. While total assets (represented by total liabilities and equity) grew by approximately 10.7%, total liabilities increased by approximately 26.4%, while total equity decreased by approximately 14.3%. This divergence indicates an increase in the debt-to-equity ratio over the analysis period.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss showed improvement, narrowing from a peak deficit of 675 million USD in December 2019 to 386 million USD by March 2023, providing a minor positive offset to the decline in retained earnings.
