- Trade accounts payable
- The trade accounts payable as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibits variability across the periods. Initially, it rose from about 5.19% to a peak above 8% around late 2021, followed by a notable decline to below 3% by early 2023. Subsequently, it moderately increased again toward 5.57% by late 2025, indicating fluctuations possibly related to supplier payment cycles or inventory management adjustments.
- Payroll and other benefits related liabilities
- This liability category shows moderate fluctuations without a consistent trend, oscillating mainly between 2% and 4%. The data suggests some structural consistency with occasional rises above 3%, which might reflect periodic changes in employee-related obligations or benefits provisioning.
- Unearned revenues (current and overall)
- Both current and total unearned revenues percentages generally trend downward over the long term. The declines from above 3% to under 1% in total, and even lower in current liabilities, suggest a reduction in advance payments or deferred revenue obligations, possibly indicating changes in the company’s revenue recognition policies or contract structures.
- Short-term debt
- Short-term debt as a proportion of total liabilities saw a sharp drop early in the series from over 7% to around 1.4%, but experienced spikes mid-series to over 7% again, followed by declines to lower single-digit percentages. The recent periods exhibit some missing data; however, the trend indicates notable volatility, possibly reflecting changing short-term borrowing strategies or refinancing activities.
- Held for sale liabilities
- This item appears only from late 2021 and maintains a low but relatively stable share, around 0.5% or less, suggesting minor liabilities related to assets classified for sale without significant impact on the overall capital structure.
- Other current liabilities
- The share of other current liabilities fluctuated between approximately 7% and 12% throughout the periods. There was a notable decrease from above 12% early in the series to a range mostly between 7% and 9% afterward, indicating some consolidation or better management of miscellaneous current obligations.
- Current liabilities (total)
- Total current liabilities demonstrate considerable variability with peaks near 30% in early years and declines to near 14% by mid-2025, reflecting a general reduction in short-term obligations relative to the total capitalization structure. Such a trend may point to improvements in liquidity management or extended payment terms.
- Long-term debt
- Long-term debt proportions began at about 40-42%, peaked around 48% in mid-2020, and then steadily declined to the mid-20% range by 2025. This diminishing long-term debt ratio could indicate debt repayments or a strategic de-leveraging over time, contributing to improved financial stability or a shifting capital structure.
- Other liabilities
- Other liabilities gradually decreased from roughly 14.8% to around 9-10% across the periods, showing a downward trend which might reflect the amortization or settlement of miscellaneous obligations over time.
- Noncurrent liabilities (total)
- Noncurrent liabilities showed a gradual reduction as a percentage of total liabilities and equity, falling from nearly 59% to close to 32% by the mid-2020s, mirroring the decrease in long-term debt and other liabilities. This overall decline suggests an ongoing paydown of long-term obligations or reclassification of liabilities.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities relative to total capitalization consistently declined from above 86% in 2019 to near 50% by the latter part of the series, before a slight uptick toward 58% near 2025. This downward trend reflects a strengthening equity position and possible risk reduction in leverage, although the recent increase warrants monitoring.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity as a percentage of total liabilities plus equity improved markedly from below 14% at the beginning of the series to around 50% by mid-2025, demonstrating increased capitalization through retained earnings growth. This enhancement of the equity base indicates increased profitability retention or capital contributions, contributing to lowering financial leverage.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings rose steadily from approximately 13% to nearly 49% of total capitalization, underpinning much of the equity growth. This trend signals consistent profitability and reinvestment into the company, enhancing its net asset base and shareholder value over time.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
- This item remained relatively minor, fluctuating around zero to just above 1%. The small positive values suggest occasional gains on foreign currency translation, hedging, or other comprehensive income components but without major influence on overall equity.
