The composition of liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibited several notable trends between 2021 and 2025. Overall, total liabilities as a percentage of the total increased from 11.83% to 12.30%, while total stockholders’ equity decreased slightly from 88.17% to 87.70% over the same period. Within liabilities, current liabilities initially rose, then decreased, while long-term liabilities remained relatively stable.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased from 8.48% in 2021 to a peak of 10.96% in 2022, before declining to 9.31% in 2024 and stabilizing at 9.81% in 2025. This fluctuation suggests potential shifts in short-term financing needs or working capital management. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities contributed to this trend, with both showing increases through 2022 before moderating.
Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities remained consistently around 2.50% of the total between 2023 and 2025, after being 3.35% and 3.39% in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Income taxes, long-term and other long-term liabilities contributed to this stability. The decrease from 2022 to 2023 suggests a potential restructuring of long-term debt or a change in deferred tax obligations.
Stockholders’ Equity Components
Additional paid-in capital fluctuated, peaking at 59.38% in 2022 and decreasing to 52.64% in 2025. Retained earnings experienced a more significant decline from 35.12% in 2021 to 26.98% in 2022, followed by a recovery to 34.27% in 2025. This suggests potential dividend payouts, share repurchases, or impacts from net income. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) remained a small percentage, shifting from a negative value to a positive value in 2025.
Specific Liability Accounts
Accrued compensation and employee benefits consistently represented a significant portion of current liabilities, increasing from 2.58% to 3.17% over the period. Deferred revenue decreased slightly from 2.78% to 2.48%. Income and other taxes payable showed an increase from 0.40% to 0.82% before decreasing to 0.61% in 2025. Accrued construction-related capital expenditures experienced a notable increase in 2023 (0.93%) before decreasing in subsequent years.

The noncontrolling interest in joint venture remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 0.37% and 0.58% throughout the period. The absence of values for preferred stock and common stock suggests these components are not currently utilized in the company’s capital structure.
