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.

- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
- There is a steady and consistent increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities from $88 million in March 2018 to $1.373 billion in September 2023. This reflects a growing obligation towards suppliers and accrued expenses over the period.
- Accrued payroll and related expenses
- Accrued payroll expenses show fluctuations across the periods but exhibit an overall upward trend from $34.2 million in March 2018 to $151.3 million in September 2023, indicating increasing payroll liabilities consistent with potential workforce growth or increased compensation.
- Current portion of long-term senior convertible notes
- Values for this item are missing until 2023, when current portion figures appear prominently at around $773 million during the first three quarters, dropping sharply to $124.2 million in December 2023, possibly reflecting repayments or refinancing activity.
- Short-term operating lease liabilities
- These liabilities gradually increased from $12.3 million in December 2018 to a peak of $22.2 million in June 2023, followed by a slight decrease to $21 million in September 2023, indicating modest growth in short-term lease obligations.
- Deferred revenue
- Deferred revenue fluctuates but remains in a relatively low range until a distinct increase to $10.1 million in March 2023, followed by a slight decline and stabilization around $9 million in the subsequent quarters, suggesting a rise in prepayments or unearned income around early 2023.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities have seen a significant increase from $125.1 million in March 2018 to $1.678 billion in March 2023, peaking at $2.07 billion in September 2023 before declining to $1.68 billion. This substantial growth is driven mainly by rises in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and current portions of long-term debt.
- Long-term senior convertible notes
- Long-term senior convertible notes rose steadily from $331.3 million in March 2018 to a peak of $2.43 billion in September 2023, with some volatility around 2022, including a decrease to $1.2 billion in December 2022, indicating refinancing or conversion activity during that timeframe.
- Long-term operating lease liabilities
- There was an increase in long-term operating lease liabilities from $29.5 million in December 2018 to a peak around $111.3 million in March 2021, followed by a gradual decrease to $83.4 million by September 2023, reflecting changes in lease commitments or lease terminations.
- Other long-term liabilities
- Other long-term liabilities increased from $18.7 million in March 2018 to about $134 million in September 2023, with occasional fluctuations, indicating growing additional long-term obligations.
- Long-term liabilities
- There is a marked increase in long-term liabilities from $350 million in March 2018 to $2.65 billion in September 2023. The spike at the end of 2018 and large growth through 2020 and 2021 suggest significant debt issuance or reclassification of liabilities.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities show steady growth from $475.1 million in March 2018 to a peak of $4.72 billion in June 2023, declining moderately to $4.33 billion by September 2023. The pattern reflects increased borrowing and accrued expenses over the period, with a small reduction towards the end.
- Common stock and Additional paid-in capital
- Common stock value remains almost constant at $100 thousand until June 2022, when it increases to $400 thousand, possibly due to stock issuance or restructuring. Additional paid-in capital generally increased over the period, with significant growth observed around 2020 and early 2023, indicating capital raising activities.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
- This item shows variability, with moving losses and occasional gains. The accumulated value deteriorated significantly to a loss of $41.1 million by September 2022 but improved somewhat afterwards, indicating exposure to certain comprehensive income items such as foreign currency translation or unrealized losses/gains on investments.
- Retained earnings (accumulated deficit)
- The company experienced a large accumulated deficit early on, decreasing from -$696 million in March 2018 to a low of -$202 million in December 2020. Afterward, retained earnings improved substantially, becoming positive from March 2022 onwards and reaching $765.1 million by September 2023, suggesting consistent profitability or retained earnings increases recently.
- Treasury stock
- Treasury stock balances appear starting from December 2018, maintaining around $100 million initially but increasing drastically to -$2.08 billion by September 2023, indicating substantial stock repurchases or treasury share transactions during the period.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Equity increases from $421.7 million in March 2018 to a peak of $2.26 billion in September 2023, with some fluctuations. Despite the large treasury stock impact, overall equity growth is robust, driven primarily by increases in additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.
- Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
- The combined total rises from $896.8 million in March 2018 to $6.6 billion in September 2023, reflecting overall growth in the company’s balance sheet size. This growth is principally attributed to expansions in liabilities and equity driven by financing and operational activities.
