Current Liabilities Trends
Current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholders' equity increased from 9.40% in 2020 to a peak of 14.55% in 2022 before declining to 12.17% in 2024. Within current liabilities, accrued expenses and other current liabilities showed a rising trend from 7.93% in 2020 to 11.13% in 2022 and then decreased to 8.68% in 2024. Other current liabilities initially rose sharply in 2021 to 4.09% but declined steadily thereafter to 2.17% by 2024. Accounts payable saw growth from 0.84% in 2020 to 2.69% in 2022, dipped in 2023, and rebounded to 2.78% in 2024. Accrued compensation and benefits followed a similar pattern, increasing to a high of 2.9% in 2023 then decreasing to 2.3% in 2024.
Non-Current Liabilities Patterns
Non-current liabilities have exhibited a clear upward trajectory from 10.07% in 2020 to 21.67% in 2024, nearly doubling over the period. Long-term debt, which was not reported in the initial years, became significant starting in 2022 at 5.34%, rising steadily to 10.44% by 2024. Operating lease liabilities (non-current) increased until 2022, peaking at 8.24%, and then declined to 6.63% in 2024. Long-term income taxes remained relatively stable around 3.2–3.6%. Finance lease liabilities (non-current) showed a slight decrease from 0.29% to 0.23%. Other liabilities remained minimal but increased slightly in 2024.
Total Liabilities Analysis
Total liabilities increased consistently from 19.47% of the total liabilities and stockholders’ equity in 2020 to 33.84% in 2024, reflecting an increased leverage position or a greater reliance on external or deferred financial obligations over this period.
Stockholders’ Equity Dynamics
Stockholders’ equity decreased from a dominant 80.53% in 2020 to around 66% in 2024. Retained earnings, the major component of equity, showed a declining trend from 48.55% in 2020 to a low of 34.89% in 2022 but partially recovered to 37.13% by 2024. Additional paid-in capital initially increased to 34.7% in 2022 but then declined steadily to 30.15% in 2024. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) moved from a positive 0.58% in 2020 into negative territory in subsequent years, reaching about -1.12% by 2024, which could indicate unrealized losses.
Summary of Financial Position
The overall financial structure shows a gradual increase in liabilities alongside a reduction in equity proportion. This indicates a shift toward more leverage or external funding sources. The increase in long-term debt and non-current liabilities suggests longer-term financing arrangements becoming more prominent. Meanwhile, the partial recovery in retained earnings after a significant drop implies some improvement in earnings retention or profitability. The negative trend in accumulated other comprehensive income signals potential challenges in other comprehensive income components.
