- Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
- The current portion of long-term debt shows considerable volatility over the analyzed periods. It rose significantly from 120,500 thousand USD in April 2016 to a peak of 915,900 thousand USD in February 2018. Following this peak, there were several periods with missing data, then it consistently reappears with large fluctuations, reaching values as high as 1,050,000 thousand USD in May 2020, before declining to 350,000 thousand USD by October 2022.
- Current Portion of Operating Lease Liabilities
- This liability item begins reporting only from February 2019 and displays a generally stable upward trend. It starts near 1,215,900 thousand USD and gradually increases to approximately 1,428,300 thousand USD by October 2022, indicating an expanding current lease liability obligation.
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable fluctuates within a broad range throughout the periods. Starting at 1,260,300 thousand USD in April 2016, it demonstrates multiple increases and decreases, with intermittent sharp rises notably in the second half of 2021, culminating at nearly 2,011,300 thousand USD by October 2022. This suggests variability in short-term obligations to suppliers, possibly linked to operational scale or payment cycles.
- Income Taxes Payable
- The data on income taxes payable is sporadic, with several missing figures. When reported, amounts vary widely, peaking at 221,300 thousand USD in April 2017 and also showing smaller values near zero in other periods. This irregular pattern may reflect timing mismatches in tax liabilities or reporting intervals.
- Other Current Liabilities
- Other current liabilities present a generally increasing trend from 622,100 thousand USD in April 2016 to over 1,042,200 thousand USD as of October 2022, though with minor fluctuations. The growth suggests increasing miscellaneous short-term liabilities not detailed elsewhere.
- Current Liabilities (Total)
- Total current liabilities show volatility with notable spikes, particularly from February 2018 onward. After fluctuating near 2,050,000 thousand USD in 2016–2017, there is a large jump to nearly 3,800,000 thousand USD in May 2019 and subsequent periods well above 4,000,000 thousand USD in 2020 and 2021, before settling close to 4,683,100 thousand USD by October 2022. This elevated current liability level indicates increased short-term obligations over time.
- Long-Term Debt, Net (Excluding Current Portion)
- This liability category demonstrates a clear declining trend from a high of 7,209,800 thousand USD in April 2016 to around 3,420,400 thousand USD in October 2022. The substantial reduction over the years indicates debt repayment or refinancing activities reducing long-term borrowing obligations.
- Operating Lease Liabilities, Long-Term
- Beginning in February 2019, this long-term lease liability shows fluctuations with a minor upward trend. Values hover around 4,850,000 thousand USD in early periods and increase slightly to approximately 5,155,900 thousand USD by October 2022, reflecting the ongoing recognition of lease obligations.
- Unfavorable Lease Rights, Net of Accumulated Amortization
- This item shows a decreasing pattern from 142,900 thousand USD in April 2016 to 78,800 thousand USD by February 2019, with no subsequent data reported. The decrease reflects amortization reducing this balance over time.
- Deferred Income Taxes, Net
- Deferred income taxes start near 1,566,200 thousand USD in April 2016 but drop substantially by February 2019 to around 973,200 thousand USD. Thereafter, the amount fluctuates moderately around 1,000,000 to 1,100,000 thousand USD, indicating relative stability in deferred tax obligations in recent years.
- Income Taxes Payable, Long-Term
- This long-term tax liability remains relatively stable, generally ranging between 20,000 to 73,600 thousand USD across all periods, with no significant upward or downward trend.
- Other Liabilities
- Other liabilities maintain a fairly consistent range from approximately 350,000 thousand USD to 410,000 thousand USD between 2016 and early 2019, with some volatility afterward, moving in the 250,000 to 387,000 thousand USD range. There is no clear trend but a moderate fluctuation around a middle value.
- Noncurrent Liabilities (Total)
- The total noncurrent liabilities show a marked decline from 9,342,200 thousand USD in April 2016 to about 5,762,600 thousand USD in early 2019, then a substantial increase back toward approximately 9,951,100 thousand USD by October 2022. This indicates significant shifts in long-term obligations, possibly due to refinancing or reclassification effects over time.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities reflect volatility linked to the above components. Starting at approximately 11,391,300 thousand USD in April 2016, there is a drop to around 7,858,300 thousand USD in early 2019, followed by a strong rebound to over 14,634,200 thousand USD by October 2022. This upward trend highlights increasing overall liabilities in the most recent periods.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders' equity generally trends upward, rising from 4,669,600 thousand USD in April 2016 to a peak of about 8,396,500 thousand USD in July 2022. However, some declines appear in intermediate periods, notably a decrease to 5,642,900 thousand USD in February 2019 before recovering. The overall growth indicates an increasing net worth, though interrupted by occasional contractions.
- Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
- The sum of liabilities and equity grows from approximately 16,060,900 thousand USD in April 2016 to a peak around 22,909,500 thousand USD by October 2022, reflecting overall enlargement of the balance sheet size, signifying business growth or increased financial activity.
