Accounts Payable: The accounts payable balance shows noticeable fluctuations with an overall upward trend. From August 2018 to late 2019, the values increase steadily, followed by a slight dip around early 2020. Then the balances rise again significantly from mid-2022 through 2024, reaching their highest levels by the end of the period analyzed.
Accrued Compensation and Related Liabilities: This item exhibits strong variability. It rose sharply from August 2018 to early 2019, peaked multiple times throughout 2021 and 2022, then declined notably in late 2023 before increasing again in 2024. Such volatility may reflect fluctuations in payroll-related obligations or timing differences in compensation expense recognition.
Accrued Liabilities: Accrued liabilities experienced substantial swings during the entire timeframe, with notable spikes around late 2019 and again in early 2024. Despite periodic decreases, the overall amount tends to increase, implying growing short-term obligations accrued by the company.
Income Taxes, Current: The available data for current income taxes show irregular reporting, with sporadic sizeable values from May 2019 onwards. There are significant spikes in late 2022 and mid-2023, potentially reflecting timing differences in tax payments or changes in taxable income.
Operating Lease Liabilities, Current and Long-term: Current operating lease liabilities remain relatively stable, fluctuating mildly without significant upward or downward trends, indicating consistent short-term lease obligations. Long-term operating lease liabilities also show stability with gradual increases over time, reflecting ongoing commitments under lease agreements.
Debt Due Within One Year: This item exhibits high volatility, with significant increases in mid-2021 followed by sharp decreases, and further increases again in 2024. Large swings suggest refinancing or restructuring of short-term debt obligations during this period.
Current Liabilities: Current liabilities follow a fluctuating but generally elevated trend, with notable peaks in late 2019, early 2021, and mid-2024. These changes reflect variations in the company's short-term obligations, possibly driven by seasonal factors or changes in operational activities.
Debt Due After One Year: Long-term debt remains stable from 2018 through early 2021, followed by a significant increase starting mid-2022 that continues through 2024. This might indicate increased borrowing or refinancing activities affecting the company's long-term capital structure.
Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred income tax balances are generally stable, showing a mild upward trend over the years. Minor fluctuations suggest consistent recognition of timing differences related to income tax expenses.
Accrued Liabilities (possibly duplicative row): This appears to be a secondary categorization, with values rising sharply from 2018 through 2020 and then steadily declining from 2021 onward. The decline after 2020 may indicate changes in accrual policies or reductions in certain accrued expenses.
Long-term Liabilities: Long-term liabilities are mostly stable, with moderate growth from 2018 to mid-2019, followed by a decline in 2021, and then a sharp increase starting mid-2022. The increase aligns with the rise in long-term debt, reinforcing the observation of increased borrowing or long-term commitments in recent periods.
Total Liabilities: The total liabilities line mirrors the trends seen in current and long-term liabilities, with steady growth through 2019, a dip around 2020-2021, and a strong upward trend from mid-2022 to 2024. This suggests an overall increase in the company's obligations during the latest periods analyzed.
Common Stock and Paid-in Capital: Common stock and paid-in capital display consistent growth from 2018 through 2024. This reflects ongoing equity injections or capital increases over time, contributing positively to shareholders’ equity.
Retained Earnings: Retained earnings steadily increase throughout the entire period, indicating profitable operations and accumulation of undistributed earnings. The continuous rise supports a strong earnings retention policy contributing to equity growth.
Treasury Stock: The balance in treasury stock consistently becomes more negative, indicating ongoing share repurchases or stock buybacks. This increasing negative balance reflects a significant use of cash or financing resources to reduce outstanding shares.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): The accumulated other comprehensive income shows high volatility with swings between positive and negative values over the years. Negative spikes around 2019-2020 are followed by recoveries and moderate positives in later years, reflecting changes in gains/losses on items not included in net income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments or pension liabilities.
Shareholders’ Equity: Shareholders’ equity fluctuates but maintains an overall rising trend in the long term. There are dips notably in 2019-2021, likely associated with increased treasury stock or other comprehensive loss impacts, but recovery is seen from late 2021 onward. The growth indicates solid equity base expansion despite short-term reductions.
Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity: This total shows steady growth across the full time horizon, reflecting the general expansion of the company’s balance sheet. The increases highlight additional financing, both debt and equity, aligned with the company's growth and operational needs.
