The financial data reveals several notable trends in liabilities, equity, and overall financial position over the observed periods.

Accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities: There is a generally steady increase over time, rising from 8,310 million USD at the start of the period to over 12,000 million USD by the end, indicating increasing short-term obligations.
Current portion of long-term debt: This item exhibits volatility, with significant fluctuations throughout the quarters. It peaks notably around March 2022 and remains near 2,000 million USD in recent periods, suggesting variable short-term debt repayments or reclassifications.
Current liabilities: Current liabilities display some fluctuations but generally trend upwards—from approximately 13,215 million USD initially to nearly 14,556 million USD at the end. However, certain quarters like June 2024 show temporary declines.
Long-term debt (excluding current portion): Long-term debt steadily rises initially, peaking around December 2022 near 96,000 million USD, before exhibiting a gradual decline to around 91,863 million USD by mid-2025, indicating some debt repayment or refinancing activities.
Equipment installment plan financing facility: Data starts being recorded only toward the end of the period, with values gradually increasing from 873 million USD to 1,306 million USD, highlighting a new financing facility or credit line.
Deferred income taxes: Relatively stable across all periods, hovering around 18,000 to 19,000 million USD, showing minimal change in the deferred tax position.
Other long-term liabilities: Fluctuate moderately, but overall show a slight increase from just over 4,000 million to nearly 4,800 million USD, indicative of gradual build-up in other obligations.
Long-term liabilities (total): Follow a rising trend from approximately 96,615 million USD to a peak above 121,000 million USD, then exhibit a moderate decrease toward the end of the data series, consistent with observations in long-term debt.
Total liabilities: Overall liabilities grow from about 109,830 million USD to fluctuating around 130,000 to 132,000 million USD in final periods, suggesting expanded indebtedness and obligations over time.
Additional paid-in capital: Shows minor fluctuations but remains relatively stable within the range of 23,000 to 31,000 million USD, with no significant upward or downward trend, indicating consistency in additional capital contributions.
Retained earnings (accumulated deficit): There is a persistent negative accumulated deficit, deepening significantly early in the periods around late 2020 and early 2021 to over -12,000 million USD and gradually improving but remaining negative around -5,000 million USD at latest. This trend reflects ongoing net losses or distributions exceeding earnings.
Treasury stock at cost: Treasury stock values are negative and fluctuate considerably, with peaks in share buybacks or costs recorded during mid and late periods, reflecting active repurchasing or adjustments.
Total Charter shareholders’ equity: The equity position declines markedly from nearly 30,000 million USD initially to approximately 9,000 million USD around 2022, before gradually recovering and growing back above 16,000 million USD by mid-2025, indicating restoration of shareholder value after a period of erosion.
Noncontrolling interests: Decrease steadily over the early to mid-periods from around 7,094 million USD down to roughly 3,400 million USD and then increase gradually to exceed 4,100 million USD by mid-2025, showing changes possibly related to ownership structures or performance of non-controlling entities.
Total shareholders’ equity: Combining changes in equity and noncontrolling interests results in a decline from about 36,722 million USD to a low near 12,350 million USD by 2022, followed by a steady improvement back to over 20,000 million USD. This reflects overall strengthening of net assets.
Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity: The overall balance sheet total remains relatively stable and increases modestly from approximately 146,552 million USD to about 151,589 million USD by mid-2025, indicating moderate growth in the company's aggregate financial position.
