Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

The analysis of the annual financial data reveals notable trends in both liabilities and equity components over the observed period.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibit volatility but display an overall upward trend, increasing from approximately $147 million in 2020 to nearly $295 million in 2024. The most significant fluctuations occur in accounts payable, which more than doubled from 2020 to 2021, then fluctuated before reaching its highest level in 2024 at over $102 million. Accrued compensation and related benefits peaked in 2022 but declined in 2023 before rising slightly in 2024. Dividends and dividend equivalents rise consistently, reflecting growing shareholder distributions. Other accrued liabilities show a steady increase, indicating rising short-term obligations.
- Long-term Liabilities
- Long-term liabilities steadily increase from $95 million in 2020 to nearly $177 million in 2024, indicating expanded obligations or financing activities over time. Key contributors to this growth include deferred compensation plan liabilities and other long-term liabilities, both showing continuous rises year-over-year. Long-term operating lease liabilities, after decreasing in early years, exhibit a strong increase during the last two years, suggesting new leases or contracts have been commenced. These rising long-term liabilities contribute to the rise in total liabilities.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities trend upward from approximately $242 million in 2020 to $471 million in 2024, with a slight dip in 2023 compared to 2022. This overall increase is driven primarily by significant growth in current liabilities and steady rises in long-term liabilities, indicating expanding obligations.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity shows substantial growth from about $967 million in 2020 to over $3.1 billion in 2024, more than tripling within five years. Retained earnings contribute significantly to this increase, surging markedly especially in 2023 and 2024, which suggests robust profitability and earnings retention during this period. However, common stock and additional paid-in capital peak in 2023 before declining sharply in 2024, implying possible share repurchases or changes in capital structure. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) worsens over time, moving from a positive position in 2020 to increasingly negative values through 2024, indicating losses on items recorded in other comprehensive income such as foreign currency translations or unrealized losses.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
- The total of liabilities and stockholders’ equity grows substantially, increasing from $1.2 billion in 2020 to about $3.6 billion in 2024. This growth reflects increasing assets funded by a combination of rising liabilities and expanding equity. The data suggest healthy capital expansion, supported primarily by retained earnings growth and higher liabilities.
In summary, the financial data reveals a pattern of growth in both obligations and equity base, with strong retention of earnings fueling equity expansion. Liabilities have increased steadily, particularly current liabilities, signaling more operational or financing activities. The deterioration in accumulated other comprehensive income warrants further examination to understand its components and potential impacts.
