The quarterly financial data reveals several trends and patterns in the liabilities, equity, and key financial components over the observed periods.

Short-term Borrowings
The short-term borrowings show significant volatility across the periods. Starting at $4,764 million in Mar 2020, the value declines sharply to as low as $29 million by Dec 2020, then fluctuates again, reaching peaks above $2,000 million in late 2022 and late 2023, before fluctuating near $1,500 million and lower towards June 2025. This indicates variability in short-term financing needs or refinancing activities.
Current Portion of Long-term Debt
This component shows large fluctuations with multiple peaks and troughs. From $1,672 million in Mar 2020, it peaks at $2,741 million by Dec 2020, drops considerably by Dec 2022, then rises sharply again with values above $2,000 million in late 2023 and 2024, before declining by June 2025. Such movements suggest varying debt maturities scheduled to be paid within one year, reflecting refinancing or repayment activity.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable exhibit a generally upward trend, increasing steadily from $5,554 million in Mar 2020 to nearly $10,000 million by June 2025. Despite some fluctuations, the consistent rise indicates increasing short-term obligations to suppliers or accrued expenses over time.
Accrued Marketing
The accrued marketing expenses show moderate increases and some variability, moving from approximately $1,848 million in early 2020 to oscillating around $2,500 million to $2,700 million by mid-2025. Peaks and troughs suggest seasonality or changes in marketing spending.
Accrued Employment Costs
Accrued employment costs increased from $573 million in early 2020 to a peak of over $1,150 million during 2023, followed by some fluctuations and a tapering towards $836 million by mid-2025. This pattern may reflect growth in employee-related liabilities such as bonuses or benefits, with periodic settlements.
Other Current Liabilities
The 'Other Current Liabilities' category presents a sharp spike starting in 2024, rising from typical values around $2,500 to $4,300 million, then dramatically peaking above $10,600 million in early 2024, and subsequently decreasing but still remaining elevated compared to previous years. This anomaly suggests a significant one-time event or reclassification affecting current liabilities.
Current Liabilities (Total)
Total current liabilities display variability with an overall upward movement. The figure moved between approximately $12,600 million and $19,000 million in 2020-2023, before a notable surge to over $25,000 million early in 2024, then gradually declining towards $19,800 million by mid-2025. This pattern aligns with the changes in 'Other Current Liabilities' and fluctuating short-term debt levels.
Long-term Debt (Excluding Current Portion)
This liability steadily increased from $13,354 million in early 2020 to approximately $20,251 million in late 2022, followed by a decline into 2023 and mixed fluctuations closer to $18,000 million in mid-2025. The gradual growth with interruptions may signal new long-term borrowings offset by repayments or refinancing strategies.
Long-term Operating Lease Liabilities
These liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating mildly between $433 million and $623 million across all periods, indicating consistent lease obligations without major changes or revaluations.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes show minor variations around $3,300 to $3,600 million, reflecting relatively stable timing differences in tax liabilities without significant shifts.
Accrued Pension and Postretirement Health Care Costs
Accrued pension costs generally decreased from $1,110 million in early 2020 to nearer $350-400 million in 2023-2025, indicating possible funding or actuarial changes reducing these obligations. Similarly, accrued postretirement healthcare costs declined steadily from $376 million to below $100 million, suggesting benefit plan adjustments or settlements.
Other Liabilities and Noncurrent Liabilities
Other liabilities remained relatively consistent but showed a moderate decrease in later years. Noncurrent liabilities mirror long-term debt fluctuations, hovering around $21,000 million to $27,000 million with some declines post-2021, reflecting overall liability management.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities maintain a broad range mostly between $38,000 million and $44,000 million through 2020-2023, with a notable jump to over $49,000 million in early 2024, followed by reductions nearing $43,000 million through mid-2025. This suggests episodic borrowing or liability recognition events impacting the balance sheet.
Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity fluctuated mildly but remained within the $25,000 to $29,000 million band. Retained earnings increased steadily, indicating accumulation of profits over time. Treasury stock values increased in absolute magnitude, indicating ongoing stock repurchases. Accumulated other comprehensive losses remained negative and tended to deepen slightly over time, impacting equity levels.
Total Equity and Total Liabilities & Equity
Total equity shows small fluctuations but no dramatic trends, remaining near $25,000 to $28,000 million. Total liabilities and equity rose gradually from approximately $63,500 million in early 2020 to peaks above $77,000 million in early 2024, before settling back near $71,000 million by mid-2025. The overall growth corresponds with asset increases funded by liabilities and equity.

In summary, the data reveals a pattern of increasing accounts payable and retained earnings, fluctuating short-term borrowings and current liabilities, and periodic long-term debt adjustments. The significant spike in other current liabilities around 2024 may require further investigation. Overall, the company appears to actively manage its liabilities and equity, with consistent profit retention and strategic capital structure changes over the periods analyzed.
