Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

The financial trajectory from March 2021 through June 2026 is characterized by an aggressive expansion of the balance sheet, with total liabilities and stockholders' equity increasing from approximately 1.95 billion USD to over 7.54 billion USD. This growth reflects a scaling operational footprint and a transition in the company's cumulative profitability profile.
- Liability Composition and Trends
- Total liabilities exhibited a consistent upward trend, rising from 1.11 billion USD in March 2021 to 3.18 billion USD by June 2026. A significant driver of this increase is deferred revenue, which grew from 223.6 million USD to 1.28 billion USD over the period. This pattern is indicative of strong growth in prepaid service contracts, providing a predictable future revenue stream common in SaaS business models.
- The current liability profile experienced a notable shift starting in June 2024 with the introduction of convertible senior notes totaling approximately 743.9 million USD. These notes transitioned between current and non-current classifications throughout 2024 and 2025, eventually stabilizing as non-current liabilities near 985.5 million USD by June 2026.
- Operating lease liabilities, both current and non-current, showed a steady increase, suggesting a continuous expansion of leased facilities and infrastructure to support growth.
- Equity and Capitalization
- Stockholders' equity grew substantially, from 841.3 million USD in March 2021 to 4.36 billion USD in June 2026. This expansion was primarily driven by additional paid-in capital, which rose from 985 million USD to 4.13 billion USD, reflecting significant capital injections or equity-based compensation.
- A critical inflection point is observed in retained earnings. The company began the period with an accumulated deficit of 144.4 million USD, which deepened to a peak deficit of 230.3 million USD in June 2023. However, a trend of recovery followed, with retained earnings turning positive in December 2024 (30.0 million USD) and climbing to 234.9 million USD by June 2026, signaling a shift toward sustained cumulative profitability.
- Financial Stability and Risk Indicators
- The debt-to-equity relationship evolved as the company scaled. While total liabilities increased, the growth in stockholders' equity outpaced the growth in liabilities, suggesting a strengthening solvency position and a reduction in financial leverage over the long term.
- Liquidity management is evidenced by the fluctuations in accounts payable, which saw a sharp increase to 313.5 million USD by June 2026, indicating a higher volume of short-term obligations to suppliers accompanying the increase in operational scale.
