- Accounts Payable
- The accounts payable ratio, expressed as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity, has fluctuated over the periods. It generally remained below 1% until early 2021 but showed a rising trend afterwards, peaking at 2.82% in December 2023 before slightly declining to 2.36% by September 2024. This indicates a recent increase in short-term obligations to suppliers relative to the company's capital structure.
- Accrued Liabilities
- Accrued liabilities increased notably from about 2.34% in Q1 2019 to a peak of 11.43% in Q3 2023, demonstrating a growth in expenses recognized before payment. Although there was some decrease after the peak, the ratio remained elevated around 8.5% by Q3 2024, suggesting consistent accruals linked to operating activities.
- Deferred Revenue (Current)
- This item experienced substantial volatility. Initially stable around 4-5% through 2019, it surged dramatically to 52.71% at the end of 2020, peaking near 59.33% in Q1 2021, reflecting an increase in payments received before recognizing revenue. Since then, it has steadily declined to a low of 2.4% by September 2024, indicating a normalization in revenue recognition patterns or changes in billing structures.
- Income Taxes Payable
- Data is available only from late 2021. The ratio peaked at nearly 5.77% in Q1 2022, then generally decreased, stabilizing close to zero by mid-2024. This pattern may reflect fluctuations in taxable income and timing differences in tax payments.
- Other Current Liabilities
- Other current liabilities showed a rising trend starting from near 0.25% in early 2019, reaching a temporary peak of 3.79% in Q2 2021 but fluctuating thereafter, ending near 0.44% at Q3 2024. This volatility suggests episodic recognition of miscellaneous current obligations.
- Current Liabilities (Aggregate)
- Current liabilities as a whole increased substantially in 2020, from approximately 6.51% in Q1 to nearly 67% by Q1 2021, largely impacted by deferred revenue growth. This was followed by a progressive decline to about 14% by mid-2024, indicating a shifting balance from short-term liabilities.
- Deferred Revenue (Non-current)
- Non-current deferred revenue steadily decreased from 8.68% in early 2019 to below 1% by mid-2024, except for minor fluctuations. This trend suggests a reduction in long-term advance payments or obligations.
- Operating Lease Liabilities (Non-current)
- Introduced around 2019-2020, this liability decreased from 5.89% in Q1 2020 to around 0.3%-0.5% by 2023, followed by a sharp increase near 4.3% in mid-2024. This pattern may reflect lease accounting changes or new lease agreements.
- Financing Lease Liabilities (Non-current)
- Financing lease liabilities showed moderate fluctuations without a clear trend, generally ranging between 1.5% and 3.95%, ending on a slightly rising note by Q3 2024, indicating ongoing leasing obligations.
- Other Non-current Liabilities
- This category grew steadily from negligible levels to approximately 1.75% by Q3 2024, indicating increasing long-term obligations outside of leases and deferred revenue.
- Non-current Liabilities (Aggregate)
- Non-current liabilities decreased notably from 17.08% in late 2019 to around 3.27% by Q1 2021 but increased thereafter, reaching nearly 10.6% in late 2024. This reflects the company's changing long-term liability structure, potentially due to lease adjustments and other commitments.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities fluctuated substantially, rising from about 20% in early 2019 to a peak near 70% in early 2021, driven primarily by increases in deferred revenue and current liabilities. They declined thereafter to roughly 24%-25% by late 2024, indicating a significant reduction in overall liabilities relative to the company’s equity base.
- Additional Paid-in Capital
- Additional paid-in capital decreased markedly from a high of 167.95% in late 2019 to about 4-5% during 2023-2024, reflecting either capital return, repurchases, or reclassification effects impacting equity components.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss showed minor fluctuations, turning from slightly positive values in early periods to a peak negative loss of about -1.43% in late 2022, followed by some recovery to near zero by mid-2024, indicating volatility in items like foreign currency adjustments or unrealized gains/losses.
- Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit)
- Retained earnings displayed significant improvement over the period, shifting from a deficit of -94.15% in late 2019 to a positive balance over 70% by 2023-2024. This major reversal signals improved net profitability and accumulation of earnings.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity as a percentage of total capital declined sharply from over 80% in early 2019 to about 30% during 2020 and early 2021, paralleling the spike in liabilities, particularly deferred revenue. Equity then recovered to approximately 75% by mid-2024, suggesting enhanced financial stability and increased retained earnings.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
- Remained constant at 100% as expected, reflecting the balance sheet equation and consistent percentage base.
