There is an observable dip around 2025, indicating a gradual reduction in these liabilities over the extended period.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable exhibit a fluctuating pattern with some periods of increase and decrease. Starting at 545,488 thousand USD in March 2020, it peaks around 899,909 thousand USD in March 2025, indicating variability but an overall rising trend toward the later years.
Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
This category consistently increases over the time frame, starting at 1,061,090 thousand USD in early 2020 and reaching over 3,111,311 thousand USD by the third quarter of 2025, signaling growing accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue steadily grows from 986,753 thousand USD at the beginning of 2020 to over 1,724,675 thousand USD by late 2025. The trend indicates increasing advance payments or unearned revenue, reflecting the potential growth of subscription or service engagements.
Short-term Debt
Short-term debt remains mostly stable around 499,000 thousand USD in the initial period, spikes to about 799,000 thousand USD in early 2023, then significantly increases sharply to approximately 1,820,000 thousand USD by mid-2024, followed by a decrease to around 1,005,881 thousand USD in early 2025. This suggests shifts in short-term borrowing needs or refinancing activities.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities maintain a variable but overall upward trend, peaking near 10,755,400 thousand USD in late 2024 before declining to around 9,731,859 thousand USD by the third quarter of 2025. This indicates an increasing obligation profile with some recent reduction.
Non-current Content Liabilities
Non-current content liabilities gradually decline from about 3,206,051 thousand USD at the start to approximately 1,591,973 thousand USD by late 2025, showing a significant reduction which could reflect amortization or repayment of long-term obligations.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt fluctuates within a range of approximately 13,217,038 to 16,000,000 thousand USD. There are periods of decline, notably from early 2020 through mid-2023, reaching 12,170,038 thousand USD at one point, followed by a rise again near 14,463,020 thousand USD by late 2025. This pattern indicates variable leveraging or debt management strategies.

Non-current Liabilities
Non-current liabilities overall show a decreasing trend from about 18,796,891 thousand USD to around 19,248,941 thousand USD with notable fluctuations. The values peak early in the period and decline steeply around the middle years, reflecting debt repayment or liability restructuring.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities peak near 29,561,108 thousand USD in late 2024 with fluctuations throughout the period, showing a general tendency for moderate volatility in the total obligations, with a slight decrease towards the end of the period at 28,980,800 thousand USD.

Treasury Stock at Cost
Treasury stock increases significantly in absolute terms (cost), reflecting rising stock repurchases. Starting with small values and intensifying towards nearly -20,270,631 thousand USD by late 2025, this trend suggests aggressive share buyback activities.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
This component shows considerable fluctuations, alternating between losses and gains. Notably, there are deepening losses during mid-periods, with a marked negative effect in various years; however, some recovery occurs later. The variability points to volatile comprehensive income factors such as currency translation or unrealized gains/losses.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings depict a strong upward trajectory, starting from 5,520,816 thousand USD and escalating steadily to nearly 39,863,597 thousand USD by the third quarter of 2025. This trend suggests consistent profitability and reinvestment of earnings over time.
