Current content liabilities
The current content liabilities exhibit a generally declining trend from March 2020 to June 2025, decreasing from approximately $4.76 billion to around $4.09 billion. This suggests a gradual reduction in short-term obligations related to content costs.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable fluctuate over the periods, initially decreasing in mid-2020, then increasing to reach a peak near $899.9 million in March 2025, indicating variability in obligations to suppliers and increasing payables towards the later periods.
Accrued expenses and other liabilities
There is a noticeable upward trend in accrued expenses and other liabilities, rising from around $1.06 billion in early 2020 to approximately $2.49 billion by mid-2025, suggesting growing accrued and miscellaneous payables over time.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue steadily increases from about $987 million in March 2020 to approximately $1.73 billion in June 2025. This consistent growth may reflect increasing customer prepayments or subscription billing patterns.
Short-term debt
Short-term debt remains relatively stable around $500 million through 2020, then shows discontinuities with missing data through early 2022, reappearing later significantly increased, peaking near $1.82 billion in September 2024 before declining to about $1 billion in March 2025, indicating more aggressive short-term borrowing in the later years.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities show some volatility, initially peaking near $8.49 billion in late 2021, followed by fluctuations around $8 billion, then a drop to about $8.94 billion in mid-2025. Overall, current liabilities remain substantial but do not exhibit a consistent directional trend.
Non-current content liabilities
Non-current content liabilities decline steadily from roughly $3.21 billion in early 2020 to about $1.61 billion by mid-2025, indicating a reduction in long-term content-related obligations.
Long-term debt
Long-term debt remains at high levels throughout the periods, fluctuating between approximately $13.2 billion and $16 billion, with some decrease around 2023 and subsequent partial recovery, reflecting significant but somewhat stable long-term borrowing.
Other non-current liabilities
Other non-current liabilities rise gradually from $1.42 billion in early 2020 to over $3.14 billion by mid-2025, indicating increasing longer-term obligations apart from debt and content liabilities.
Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities overall fluctuate between $16.0 billion and $20.3 billion, showing some decline towards 2025 but remaining substantial, with no clear consistent growth or reduction trend.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities peak near $29.56 billion in late 2024, with earlier steady increases from $26.65 billion in March 2020. The data shows some declining trends thereafter, ending around $28.15 billion in mid-2025. This indicates overall elevated but slightly fluctuating debt and obligations levels.
Common stock
Common stock values steadily increase from approximately $2.94 billion in early 2020 to nearly $6.93 billion by mid-2025, consistent with ongoing equity issuance or retained equity growth.
Treasury stock at cost
Treasury stock reflects growing negative amounts from mid-2021 onwards, increasing in magnitude from around -$500 million to nearly -$18.4 billion by mid-2025. This indicates significant repurchases of company stock over the period.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
This item exhibits considerable volatility and swings between positive and negative values, with a notable negative spike near -$904 million in mid-2025, reflecting fluctuating gains or losses from non-operating activities such as foreign currency translation or hedging.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings display steady growth from $5.52 billion in March 2020 to approximately $37.32 billion by mid-2025, indicating consistent accumulation of earnings over the periods.
Stockholders’ equity
Stockholders’ equity generally increases from about $8.41 billion to around $24.95 billion by mid-2025, despite some declines in 2023 and early 2024, reflecting overall equity growth driven primarily by retained earnings and common stock issuance net of treasury stock effects.
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
The total capitalization rises from approximately $35.06 billion in early 2020 to a peak near $53.63 billion in early 2025. This represents an expansion of the company's financial base, with some fluctuation near the end of the period but overall substantial growth.
