The composition of liabilities and stockholders’ equity for the analyzed entity exhibits several notable trends over the observed period from March 2021 to December 2025. Current liabilities generally remained relatively stable between approximately 10% and 15% of total liabilities and equity, with a noticeable increase towards the end of 2023 and into early 2024. Noncurrent liabilities consistently represented a larger portion, fluctuating between roughly 52% and 58% over the majority of the period, before declining to around 51-52% by the end of 2025. Total liabilities demonstrated a slight decrease from approximately 65% in the earlier periods to around 64% in the latter periods. Equity showed a corresponding increase, moving from around 35% to 36% over the same timeframe.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities, as a percentage of total liabilities and equity, experienced a period of relative stability between March 2021 and June 2022, averaging around 10-11%. A gradual increase began in September 2022, peaking at 15.18% in December 2023, driven primarily by increases in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the current portion of debt. This trend reversed in 2024, returning to levels closer to the historical average.
Noncurrent Liabilities
Noncurrent liabilities consistently constituted the largest portion of the liability structure. The percentage fluctuated, peaking at approximately 57% in late 2022, and then gradually declining to around 52% by the end of 2025. This decline was primarily attributable to a decrease in the noncurrent portion of debt. Deferred income taxes remained a significant component of noncurrent liabilities, holding relatively steady between 9% and 11% throughout the period.
Specific Liability Accounts
Accounts payable and accrued expenses related to trade creditors remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range of 4% to 5%. Deferred revenue showed an increasing trend, rising from 1.21% in March 2021 to 1.55% in September 2025. The current portion of debt exhibited significant volatility, with a notable increase in the first half of 2023 before decreasing again. An 'Advance on sale of investment' appeared in late 2023 and remained a component through 2024, representing approximately 3-4% of the total.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity demonstrated a general upward trend, increasing from approximately 33% to 36% of total liabilities and equity. This increase was primarily driven by growth in retained earnings, which rose from 20.94% in March 2021 to 24.50% in September 2025. Additional paid-in capital remained relatively stable, fluctuating around 14-15%. Treasury stock consistently represented a negative equity component, decreasing slightly over the period. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) experienced fluctuations, ending near zero by the end of 2025.

The observed trends suggest a dynamic balance between debt and equity financing. The increase in equity, particularly through retained earnings, indicates profitability and reinvestment. The fluctuations in current liabilities warrant monitoring, particularly the increases observed in late 2023, to assess potential liquidity implications. The overall stability of the liability structure, coupled with the growth in equity, suggests a generally healthy financial position.
