Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data
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 financial position between March 2020 and July 2022 is characterized by a systematic increase in total liabilities coupled with a general contraction in total stockholders' equity, although a slight recovery in equity is noted in the final quarter.
- Liability Structure and Trends
- Total liabilities grew from 10,253 million USD to 15,313 million USD over the analyzed period. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial increase in long-term debt, which rose from 7,366 million USD to 11,160 million USD. Significant upward adjustments in long-term borrowing were observed between April 2021 and July 2021, and again by December 2021.
- Current liabilities exhibited volatility, peaking at 3,438 million USD in October 2021. A consistent upward trend is observed in accounts payable, which increased from 895 million USD in March 2020 to 1,462 million USD by July 2022, indicating an increase in short-term operational obligations.
- Non-current liabilities followed a similar trajectory to total liabilities, increasing from 8,422 million USD to 12,372 million USD, heavily weighted by the expansion of the long-term debt portfolio.
- Equity and Capitalization
- Total equity experienced a steady decline from 9,258 million USD in March 2020 to a low of 6,760 million USD in April 2022, before recovering to 7,226 million USD in July 2022. This erosion was largely influenced by an expanding accumulated deficit, which reached its peak of 5,371 million USD in December 2021.
- Treasury share activity showed significant fluctuations, with the cost of treasury shares peaking at 4,028 million USD in October 2021 before dropping to 1,932 million USD in December 2021, reflecting active share repurchase and capital management strategies.
- Capital in excess of par value remained relatively stable, though it showed a slight downward trend from 15,236 million USD in March 2020 to 13,904 million USD in July 2022.
The overall trajectory indicates a shift toward a more leveraged capital structure. The simultaneous increase in long-term debt and the decrease in total equity through much of the period suggest an increasing reliance on external financing to support the balance sheet.
