Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31).

The capital structure demonstrates a consistent increase in both total liabilities and shareholders' equity over the five-year period from 2018 to 2022. Total liabilities grew from 864.8 million US dollars to 1.186 billion US dollars, while shareholders' equity expanded from 2.680 billion US dollars to 3.653 billion US dollars. This growth indicates an expanding balance sheet, with a strong emphasis on equity-based financing.

Current Liabilities and Operational Obligations: Current liabilities exhibited a steady upward trend, rising from 356.7 million US dollars in 2018 to 529.8 million US dollars in 2022. This increase was primarily driven by growth in compensation and benefits, which rose from 198.5 million US dollars to 288.3 million US dollars, and accounts payable, which increased from 78.5 million US dollars to 106.3 million US dollars. The appearance of 20 million US dollars in current maturities of long-term debt in 2022 suggests a shift in the debt repayment schedule.
Long-term Debt and Non-current Liabilities: Long-term liabilities increased from 508.1 million US dollars in 2018 to 655.9 million US dollars in 2022, peaking in 2021 at 677.5 million US dollars. Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, saw a significant increase from 45 million US dollars in 2019 to nearly 100 million US dollars by 2021, before declining to 79.9 million US dollars in 2022. Deferred income taxes also showed an overall upward trajectory, ending the period at 310.5 million US dollars compared to 247.7 million US dollars at the start.
Shareholders' Equity and Retained Earnings: Shareholders' equity grew significantly, from 2.680 billion US dollars in 2018 to 3.653 billion US dollars in 2022. The primary driver of this expansion was retained earnings, which increased from 2.530 billion US dollars to a peak of 3.494 billion US dollars in 2021, before a slight decrease to 3.397 billion US dollars in 2022. The reliance on retained earnings rather than the issuance of new common stock indicates a strong capacity for internal funding and organic growth.

The overall financial position is characterized by a high equity-to-liability ratio, suggesting low financial leverage and a conservative approach to debt. The growth in current liabilities is aligned with operational expansion, particularly in human capital costs, while the substantial accumulation of retained earnings provides a significant buffer for future investments or economic volatility.
