The composition of liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibited notable shifts over the observed period, spanning from December 2019 to September 2025. Overall, a general trend towards increasing stockholders’ equity and fluctuating liabilities is apparent. The most significant changes occurred between 2019 and 2023, followed by a period of relative stabilization.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities, as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity, initially increased from 27.77% in December 2019 to a peak of 30.60% in March 2020. Subsequently, these decreased to 20.16% by December 2022, before experiencing a modest increase to 24.21% in June 2022. A further decline to 14.22% was observed in December 2024, followed by a slight increase to 18.24% in September 2025. Within current liabilities, trade accounts payable demonstrated a decreasing trend from 5.19% to 4.64% between December 2019 and September 2024, with a slight increase to 5.57% in September 2025. Short-term debt showed considerable volatility, peaking at 7.87% in March 2022, but declining to 2.47% by September 2024, and then increasing to 2.59% in September 2025. Other current liabilities exhibited a substantial decrease from 10.66% in December 2019 to 6.55% in December 2024, before rising to 8.29% in September 2025.
- Noncurrent Liabilities
- Noncurrent liabilities generally decreased over the period, starting at 58.60% in December 2019 and reaching a low of 36.78% in September 2025. Long-term debt, the primary component of noncurrent liabilities, followed a similar pattern, decreasing from 40.58% to 24.06% over the same timeframe. Other liabilities also showed a decreasing trend, from 14.82% to 9.10% during the period. The held for sale liabilities were minimal for most of the period, with some fluctuations.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrated a consistent upward trend, increasing from 13.63% in December 2019 to 43.51% in September 2025. Retained earnings were the dominant driver of this increase, rising from 13.22% to 42.42% over the period. Common stock and paid-in capital remained relatively small, with some minor fluctuations. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) showed some volatility, but generally increased from 0.41% to 1.08%.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities decreased from 86.37% in December 2019 to 57.72% in September 2025. This decline was primarily driven by the reduction in both current and noncurrent liabilities. The period between March 2020 and September 2021 saw a more pronounced decrease in total liabilities, indicating a period of debt reduction or increased equity financing.
In summary, the balance sheet composition shifted significantly over the analyzed period, with a notable increase in stockholders’ equity and a corresponding decrease in total liabilities. This suggests a strengthening financial position and a potential reduction in financial risk. The fluctuations within current liabilities warrant continued monitoring, particularly regarding short-term debt and trade accounts payable.
