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.

Accounts payable: The accounts payable figures show significant fluctuations over the periods. Initially declining from 43,000 (Oct 2018) to 27,900 (Jan 2019), they then increase and reach a peak of 234,800 (Apr 2025). Overall, the trend indicates a general increase in payables, with spikes in mid-years such as Oct 2021 and Oct 2024.
Accrued compensation: This item demonstrates a strong upward trend, rising from 99,400 in Oct 2018 to 506,200 in Jul 2024, with intermittent fluctuations. Marked increases occur around mid to late 2020 and 2021, reflecting growing labor-related liabilities consistent with business growth or workforce expansion.
Accrued and other liabilities: Accrued and other liabilities steadily increase from 163,600 in Oct 2018 to a high of 824,600 in Oct 2024. The increase is relatively consistent apart from some plateau phases, suggesting growing operational liabilities over time.
Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue rises continually from 1,269,800 in Oct 2018 to 5,756,800 in Oct 2024, indicating strong sales growth with substantial prepayments by customers. This reflects an expanding backlog or subscription-based revenue model.
Current portion of convertible senior notes, net: This liability item is intermittent, with values appearing inconsistently after Jan 2020 but showing a sharp increase reaching 3,682,100 around Apr to Oct 2022, then declining steadily thereafter. This points to restructuring or reclassification of debt over the periods.
Current liabilities: Current liabilities generally trend upwards from 1,815,700 in Oct 2018 to over 7,700,000 by Oct 2024, although there are fluctuations. The large jump around Jan 2021 and beyond corresponds with increases in convertible notes and deferred revenue, reflecting a potentially increased short-term financial obligation load.
Convertible senior notes, net, excluding current portion: The long-term portion of convertible senior notes fluctuates without a clear trend. It peaks notably around Jul and Oct 2020, reaching over 3 million, followed by sharp reductions. The data suggests periodic refinancing or maturity related adjustments.
Long-term deferred revenue: Long-term deferred revenue grows substantially from 1,114,600 in Oct 2018 to 5,816,800 in Oct 2024, consistently increasing each quarter. This suggests a growing base of long-term contracted or subscription revenue.
Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred tax liabilities are only present in later periods, decreasing steadily from 588,500 in Jan 2023 to 26,200 by Apr 2025, indicating tax position changes or utilization of deferred tax assets/liabilities.
Long-term operating lease liabilities: This category remains relatively stable with moderate decreases over time, falling from 371,600 in Jul 2019 to 345,700 in Jul 2024. The slight downward trend could reflect lease terminations or renegotiations.
Other long-term liabilities: Other long-term liabilities exhibit a marked rise later in the timeline, particularly from 138,000 in Oct 2021 to over 878,000 in Jul 2024. The substantial increase suggests new obligations or adjustments not captured in earlier periods.
Long-term liabilities: Long-term liabilities increase significantly from 2,725,900 in Oct 2018 to over 7,066,700 by Oct 2024. Despite fluctuations, the overall growth reflects increased financing or long-term contractual obligations.
Total liabilities: Total liabilities grow from 4,541,600 in Oct 2018 to 14,772,300 in Oct 2024, showing a strong upward trajectory. Larger increments post-2020 reveal increased operational scale and financed growth.
Temporary equity: Temporary equity appears primarily in the early years with small amounts and then diminishes to zero in later periods, indicating possible conversion or settlement of temporary equity instruments.
Common stock and additional paid-in capital: This equity component increases considerably from 2,129,300 in Oct 2018 to 4,952,200 in Apr 2025, despite some volatility. The rising trend suggests capital raises or issuance of shares to support growth.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss): This element shows volatility with overall negative values from 2018 through mid-2023, improving to a positive balance by Apr 2025. The fluctuations indicate changes due to foreign currency translation, hedging, or other comprehensive income impacts.
Retained earnings (accumulated deficit): Retained earnings indicate an initial growing deficit, moving from -857,300 in Oct 2018 to a maximum negative around -1,667,100 in mid-2022, followed by a strong recovery to a positive 2,230,300 by Apr 2025. This reflects progression from losses to profitability or accumulation of earnings over time.
Stockholders’ equity: Stockholders’ equity generally increases from 1,253,000 in Oct 2018 to 7,230,500 in Jul 2024. Despite mid-period declines coinciding with negative retained earnings, the overall trend is positive, consistent with improved financial health and capital inflows.
Total liabilities, temporary equity and stockholders’ equity: The total of liabilities, temporary equity, and stockholders’ equity rises robustly from 5,801,500 in Oct 2018 to 22,002,800 in Oct 2024, indicating overall balance sheet expansion aligned with business growth and increased financing activities.
