The capital structure exhibits a relatively stable distribution between total liabilities and total equity, with liabilities fluctuating between 44.90% and 52.21% of the total balance sheet from 2015 to 2019. While the overall leverage remained consistent, the internal composition of both liabilities and equity underwent significant shifts, most notably a transition toward higher long-term debt and a shift in retained earnings from a positive balance to a deficit.

Liability Structure and Debt Trends
A notable upward trend is observed in long-term debt, excluding the current portion, which rose from 20.45% in 2015 to 27.81% in 2019, peaking at 29.74% in 2018. Current liabilities also increased from 5.64% to 7.76% over the period, primarily driven by a steady rise in trade payables, which grew from 2.31% to 3.95%. Conversely, deferred income taxes decreased significantly from 17.48% in 2015 to 11.71% in 2019, and accrued postemployment costs fell sharply from 1.96% to 0.27%.
Equity Composition and Retained Earnings
Additional paid-in capital demonstrated consistent growth, increasing from 47.47% in 2015 to 56.02% in 2019, suggesting a reliance on contributed capital to maintain equity levels. This was offset by a volatile trend in retained earnings; after peaking at 7.14% in 2017, the account shifted to a deficit of -4.69% in 2018 and -3.02% in 2019. Accumulated other comprehensive losses also expanded, moving from -0.55% in 2015 to -1.86% in 2019.
Overall Solvency and Obligations
Total equity remained resilient, ending the period at 51.01%, compared to 47.08% in 2015, despite the emergence of the retained earnings deficit. Short-term financing via commercial paper and other short-term debt remained negligible throughout the period, peaking at only 0.54% in 2016 before dropping to 0.01% by 2019, indicating a preference for long-term debt over short-term commercial paper for funding requirements.
