Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-07-26), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-07-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-07-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-07-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-07-25).
- Current liabilities
- The proportion of current liabilities relative to total liabilities and equity shows some variability over the reported periods, starting at 26.71% in 2020 and peaking at 32.62% in 2024 before declining to 28.67% in 2025. Notably, an increase in short-term debt is seen in 2024 which sharply rises to 9.12% from 1.7% in 2023, then decreases to 4.28% in 2025. Accounts payable remains relatively stable with minor fluctuations around 2%, while income taxes payable within current liabilities spikes considerably in 2023 to 4.16% before decreasing in subsequent years.
- Long-term liabilities
- Long-term liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity decline overall from 33.32% in 2020 to 25.71% in 2023, followed by a significant increase to 33.02% in 2025. A significant contributor to this trend is the long-term debt excluding the current portion, which decreases until 2023 but then sharply rises to 18.69% by 2025. Income taxes payable under long-term liabilities demonstrate a consistent decrease over the period, dropping from 9.32% in 2020 to 1.77% in 2025. Deferred revenue within long-term liabilities grows steadily from 9.53% to a peak of 11.43% in 2023, then slightly decreases. Other long-term liabilities remain relatively stable.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities represent a dominant portion of the company's capital structure, fluctuating between 56.45% and 63.46%. There is a notable peak in liabilities in 2024 at 63.46%, reflective of increases in both current and long-term liabilities. The general trend suggests a maintained substantial leverage position over the years with some variations.
- Equity components
- The equity percentage of total liabilities and equity fluctuates inversely to total liabilities. Starting at 39.98% in 2020, equity peaks in 2023 at 43.55% but declines to a low of 36.54% in 2024 before slightly recovering to 38.3% in 2025. The common stock and additional paid-in capital component largely mirrors this pattern, with significant decline observed in 2024 to 36.81%, indicating possible changes in equity financing or share repurchases during that year. Retained earnings show negative or minimal positive values throughout, indicating limited accumulation of net income retained in the company. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is consistently negative but trends toward a reduction in losses over time.
- Overall capital structure insights
- The data illustrates a company maintaining a relatively balanced capital structure with a consistent mix of liabilities and equity, though some volatility in short-term and long-term debt levels is observed. The sharp increase in short-term debt and long-term debt in 2024 and 2025 respectively suggest financing activities that may reflect strategic investments or refinancing. The stable deferred revenue highlights ongoing obligation-related liabilities, possibly linked to subscription or service contracts. The equity base shows some contraction in certain periods, which could indicate shifts in shareholder equity or capital management strategies.
