Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibited volatility throughout the observed period, beginning at US$66.349 billion in March 2021 and reaching a peak of US$77.624 billion in March 2024 before declining to US$71.487 billion by December 2025. A significant increase in current liabilities was a key driver of the overall liability growth, particularly noticeable in late 2022 and early 2024. Stockholders’ equity demonstrated relative stability for much of the period, with a noticeable decrease beginning in late 2024.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities generally increased from US$14.550 billion in March 2021 to US$19.013 billion in December 2023. A substantial surge occurred in the latter half of 2022, peaking at US$25.288 billion in March 2024, before decreasing to US$21.864 billion by December 2025. Accounts payable consistently represented the largest component of current liabilities, exhibiting a steady upward trend from US$6.372 billion to US$10.139 billion over the period. Other current liabilities also showed a significant increase, particularly in March 2024, reaching US$10.668 billion. Accrued marketing and employment costs also contributed to the overall increase, though to a lesser extent.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt, excluding the current portion, remained relatively stable between approximately US$16.961 billion and US$20.251 billion for most of the period. A decrease was observed from September 2022 through December 2024, falling to US$15.664 billion, before increasing again to US$17.222 billion by December 2025. Long-term operating lease liabilities remained relatively consistent, fluctuating between US$447 million and US$623 million. Deferred income taxes showed a slight overall increase, while accrued pension and postretirement health care costs generally decreased over the observed timeframe.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity remained relatively stable between US$27.075 billion and US$28.679 billion from March 2021 to December 2023. A decline began in March 2024, falling to US$25.838 billion by December 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by changes in accumulated other comprehensive losses and treasury stock. Accumulated other comprehensive losses increased from -US$10.746 billion to -US$11.364 billion over the period, while treasury stock increased significantly, from -US$23.091 billion to -US$31.533 billion. Retained earnings showed a gradual increase until December 2023, then stabilized before a slight decrease by the end of the period. Additional paid-in capital remained relatively constant.
Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings experienced significant fluctuations. Beginning at US$674 million in March 2021, they decreased substantially before increasing again to US$2.299 billion in December 2021. A subsequent decrease occurred, followed by another increase to US$2.688 billion in December 2025. This volatility suggests active management of short-term financing needs.

In summary, the company experienced growth in total liabilities, driven primarily by increases in current liabilities, particularly accounts payable and other current liabilities. Stockholders’ equity showed a decline in the latter part of the period, influenced by changes in accumulated other comprehensive losses and treasury stock. Short-term borrowing patterns were dynamic, indicating active liquidity management.
