- Accounts payable and accrued expenses
- Initially stable around 12-14%, this ratio dropped sharply to below 4% in 2019 Q2 and remained at that lower range through 2022, indicating a significant reduction in these current liabilities relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Short-term and current maturities of long-term debt
- This ratio stayed consistently low, mostly below 1%, with a brief peak in 2018 Q3 at 4.21%, then gradually increasing to about 0.73% by early 2022, reflecting a modest rise in short-term debt obligations within the overall capital structure.
- Contract liabilities
- Contract liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity showed a declining trend from around 5% in early 2017 to below 1% by 2019, then remained relatively stable, slightly increasing toward 0.8% by 2022, suggesting reduced deferred revenue or unearned income proportions.
- Settlement obligations
- Data is available from late 2019, showing a considerable allocation ranging between approximately 12.99% to 17.9%, with a tendency toward gradual increase, indicating a significant and growing share of settlement liabilities relative to the total.
- Current liabilities
- Fluctuating between roughly 16% and 23%, current liabilities experienced a decline in 2019 Q2 to a low near 10%, then surged sharply above 20% thereafter, reaching a high close to 24% in late 2021 and early 2022, signaling increased short-term obligations within the capital structure over the recent quarters.
- Long-term debt, excluding current maturities
- This component showed volatility, starting near 47% in early 2017, peaking at near 70% in 2019 Q2, followed by a steep fall to around 27% afterward, where it stabilized through to 2022, indicating a significant restructuring or repayment of long-term debt during that period.
- Deferred income taxes
- Generally stable between 5% and 8%, deferred tax liabilities saw a reduction in 2019 but remained consistent around 5-6% thereafter, reflecting a stable proportion of deferred taxes within the total liabilities and equity.
- Long-term contract liabilities
- Gradually increasing from under 1% in early years to approximately 0.3% by 2022, signifying a slight upward trend in long-term deferrals or liabilities related to contracts.
- Other long-term liabilities
- Maintaining a low percentage around 1%, these liabilities showed minor fluctuations without significant trend changes, remaining a small portion of the total capital structure.
- Long-term liabilities overall
- Experienced a pronounced peak at about 76.6% in 2019 Q2, after which it dropped sharply to approximately 34% and remained stable, illustrating a major change in long-term funding or liability arrangements during 2019.
- Total liabilities
- Trended upward from 70-79% range through 2017-2018 to reach a peak of 87% in 2019 Q2, followed by a significant decline to about 54-58% thereafter, indicating a marked reduction in total liabilities relative to equity after mid-2019.
- Redeemable noncontrolling interests
- Appearing from 2019, these interests remained minimal, under 0.4%, showing limited impact on the overall capital composition.
- Common stock
- Consistently negligible, fluctuating at or below 0.08%, indicating no material changes in capital stock relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Additional paid-in capital
- Varied with a notable dip from near 10% to roughly 5.38% by mid-2019, then sharply increased to above 30% from late 2019 onward, reflecting possible capital contributions or equity adjustments during that period.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- Generally a minor negative portion hovering between approximately -0.2% and -1.1%, with fluctuations but no decisive trend, indicating modest other comprehensive income or loss effects.
- Retained earnings
- Started extremely high, above 95% through early 2019, then dramatically contracted to below 20% after 2019 Q2, followed by a gradual increase to around 20.5% by 2022, pointing to a structural change impacting retained earnings’ share in the capital composition, potentially due to restatements or reclassifications.
- Treasury stock at cost
- Highly negative initially, near -80%, before sharply improving to approximately -4% in 2019 Q2, then deepening slightly to around -8.7% by 2022, indicating significant fluctuations in treasury stock holdings relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Total Fiserv, Inc. shareholders’ equity
- Generally decreased from about 25% in 2017 to roughly 20% in 2018-2019, then underwent a marked increase to above 40% after 2019 Q2, maintaining a steady range around 40%, showing enhanced equity proportions post-2019 changes.
- Noncontrolling interests
- Remained small, around 1%, with slight decreases over time, indicating minimal influence on total equity.
- Total equity
