Current portion of long-term debt: The current portion of long-term debt fluctuated notably, peaking at US$1,664 million in March 2020, after a low of US$227 million in September 2019. This indicates an increased obligation due within one year at the end of the reported periods.
Accounts payable: Accounts payable showed moderate variability, with values ranging between approximately US$577 million and US$927 million, demonstrating relatively stable vendor obligations over the quarters, without a clear upward or downward trend.
Accrued payroll and benefits: Accrued payroll and benefits increased gradually over time, starting from US$759 million in March 2015 and reaching a high of US$1,345 million in December 2018 before a slight decline and subsequent rise to US$1,339 million by March 2020. This reflects growing payroll liabilities.
Liability for guest loyalty program (current and noncurrent): The liability for guest loyalty programs in both current and noncurrent portions increased significantly over the period. The current portion rose from US$675 million to US$1,550 million, while the noncurrent portion increased from US$1,706 million to US$4,294 million. This indicates expanding obligations related to customer loyalty programs.
Accrued expenses and other: Accrued expenses and other liabilities showed considerable fluctuations, with significant jumps in some periods, for example, rising to US$1,541 million in December 2017 and then decreasing to around US$963 million in December 2018, ending at US$1,263 million in March 2020. This volatility may reflect varying operational and other short-term expenses.
Current liabilities: Current liabilities generally increased over the period, from about US$3,030 million in March 2015 to a peak of US$6,677 million in December 2019, before a slight decrease to US$6,516 million in March 2020. This reflects growing short-term debt and obligations.
Long-term debt, excluding current portion: Long-term debt nearly tripled from approximately US$3,703 million in March 2015 to US$10,569 million in March 2020, indicating a significant increase in long-term financing or borrowing activities.
Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred tax liabilities appeared starting mid-2016 and subsequently declined steadily from a high of US$1,308 million to US$212 million in March 2020, suggesting tax-related adjustments or utilization of deferred tax assets.
Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue was recorded from 2017 onwards, gradually increasing from US$645 million to US$862 million by March 2020, reflecting an increase in prepayments or advance payments from customers.
Noncurrent operating lease liabilities: Noncurrent operating lease liabilities appeared in 2018 and remained relatively stable in the range of approximately US$846 million to US$893 million through March 2020.
Other noncurrent liabilities: Other noncurrent liabilities rose from about US$901 million in March 2015 to a peak of US$2,887 million in December 2017, then decreased to around US$2,270 million by March 2020, indicating some long-term obligations were settled or restructured.
Noncurrent liabilities: Overall noncurrent liabilities saw a dramatic increase from US$6,310 million in March 2015 to US$19,053 million in March 2020, reflecting substantial long-term financial commitments, especially marked by the spike around 2016–2017.
Total liabilities: Total liabilities rose substantially from approximately US$9,340 million in March 2015 to US$25,569 million in March 2020, illustrating a significant increase in overall obligations.
Class A Common Stock: Class A Common Stock remained constant at US$5 million throughout the periods, indicating no changes in the share capital represented by this class of stock.
Additional paid-in-capital: Additional paid-in-capital approximately doubled from around US$2,740 million in early 2015 to just above US$5,700 million by 2016 and remained stable around US$5,700 to US$5,800 million thereafter, indicating equity financing activity and capital contributions stabilized after 2016.
Retained earnings: Retained earnings exhibited consistent growth from US$4,401 million in early 2015 to a peak of US$9,644 million in December 2019 before a slight decrease to US$9,504 million in March 2020, reflecting accumulated net income over time despite possible distributions or adjustments.
Treasury stock, at cost: Treasury stock expanded significantly in magnitude (negative values increasing) from about -US$9,593 million in March 2015 to nearly -US$14,501 million in March 2020, suggesting ongoing share repurchase programs leading to an increase in treasury shares.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss): This fluctuated between negative and slightly positive values, with the lowest point around -US$739 million in March 2020. The swings indicate variability in unrealized gains and losses on investments, exchange rate adjustments, or pension liabilities.
Shareholders’ equity (deficit): Shareholders’ equity fluctuated significantly, beginning with negative values (deficit) until early 2016, then turning positive and peaking at US$5,841 million in June 2016, and thereafter trending downwards to near breakeven (-US$20 million) by March 2020. This suggests volatility possibly due to changes in retained earnings, treasury stock purchases, and liabilities.
Liabilities and shareholders’ equity (deficit): The sum of liabilities and shareholders’ equity showed an increase from approximately US$6,803 million in March 2015 to about US$25,549 million in March 2020, reflecting overall growth in the company's balance sheet size driven by liabilities.
