- Current portion of long-term debt
- The proportion of current portion of long-term debt relative to total liabilities and shareholders’ equity decreased sharply from 4.93% in 2015 to a low point of 1.28% in 2016, then slightly increased over subsequent years to reach 3.9% by 2019.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable declined significantly from 9.75% in 2015 to 2.85% in 2016 and remained relatively stable around 3% through 2019, indicating a reduction in payables relative to the company's total liabilities and equity base.
- Accrued payroll and benefits
- Accrued payroll and benefits followed a similar downward trend from 14.16% in 2015 down to approximately 4.86% in 2016, with a slight increase thereafter, stabilizing around 5.35% to 5.68% from 2017 through 2019.
- Liability for guest loyalty program (current and noncurrent)
- This liability showed a notable decrease from 15.65% (current) and 26.67% (noncurrent) in 2015 to lower levels in 2016. Afterward, it gradually increased year-over-year, reaching 9.01% (current) and 13.81% (noncurrent) by 2019, suggesting a growing obligation associated with customer loyalty programs as part of the company’s liabilities.
- Accrued expenses and other
- Accrued expenses and other current liabilities fell sharply from 8.66% in 2015 to 4.6% in 2016, then exhibited some variability but generally remained below initial levels, ending at 5.52% in 2019.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity dropped dramatically from 53.16% in 2015 to 21.32% in 2016, then gradually rose to around 26-27% in the ensuing years. This trend indicates a significant restructuring or reduction in short-term obligations in 2016 followed by stabilization.
- Long-term debt, excluding current portion
- Long-term debt decreased markedly from 62.59% in 2015 to approximately 33-36% from 2016 to 2018, before increasing to 39.77% in 2019. This pattern implies substantial debt repayment or refinancing activities occurred between 2015 and 2016, with a gradual rise in leverage towards 2019.
- Deferred tax liabilities
- Deferred tax liabilities increased from a low 0.26% in 2015 to 4.23% in 2016 but then steadily declined thereafter, finishing at 1.16% in 2019, reflecting fluctuations in deferred tax obligations relative to total financing structure.
- Deferred revenue
- Reported only for the last two periods, deferred revenue represented 3.08% in 2018 and slightly increased to 3.35% in 2019, indicating the emergence of deferred income components in recent years.
- Noncurrent operating lease liabilities
- Appearing only in 2018 and 2019, these liabilities constituted 3.52% in 2019, signifying a new recognition or growing importance of lease obligations in the company's noncurrent liabilities.
- Other noncurrent liabilities
- These liabilities halved from 16.34% in 2015 to 7.22% in 2016, then increased again to 12.06% in 2017 before following a moderate decline to 8.93% by 2019, showing some volatility within other long-term obligations.
- Noncurrent liabilities
- Total noncurrent liabilities dropped from 105.87% in 2015 to 56.49% in 2016, indicating a major reduction, possibly through repayment or reclassification, and then steadily increased over the subsequent years to 70.54% in 2019.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities experienced a substantial decrease from 159.03% in 2015 to 77.81% in 2016, and then rose annually up to 97.19% in 2019, suggesting debt restructuring or significant balance sheet adjustments occurred in 2016, followed by an increasing reliance on liabilities.
- Class A Common Stock
- This component remained marginal and stable around 0.02% throughout the period from 2016 onwards, indicating minimal change in common stock proportion relative to the company's financing.
- Additional paid-in-capital
- Additional paid-in capital decreased markedly from 46.38% in 2015 to near 24% from 2016 forward, with minor fluctuations, reflecting changes in equity financing or stock issuance impacts.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings declined significantly from 80.20% in 2015 to 26.93% in 2016 but then gradually increased over the following years, reaching 38.5% by 2019, which suggests recovery in profitability or accumulated earnings during that period.
- Treasury stock, at cost
- Treasury stock (a contra equity account) improved substantially from a highly negative -182.47% in 2015 to less negative levels around -26.76% in 2016, then increased in negative value again progressively, ending at -57.42% in 2019. This trend may indicate significant share repurchase activities prior to 2016 and continuing buybacks afterward.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased from -3.22% in 2015 to nearly zero (-0.07%) in 2017, followed by a slight increase in loss again but remained less than -2% in later years, indicating relatively modest fluctuations in other comprehensive income components.
- Shareholders’ equity (deficit)
- Notably, shareholders’ equity was negative at -59.03% in 2015, turning positive at 22.19% in 2016, and gradually declining each year thereafter to 2.81% in 2019. This suggests a significant recapitalization or balance sheet improvement around 2016, followed by a steady erosion or higher liabilities relative to equity.
