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.
Current liabilities show significant fluctuations over the periods analyzed. There is a peak around December 29, 2019, at approximately $8.68 billion, followed by a decline through 2020, reaching a low near $6.5 billion in March 2021. Subsequently, current liabilities recover and generally rise, achieving about $11.1 billion by June 2025.
Short-term debt data is sparse but indicates variability, with some peaks such as approximately $1.1 billion in March 2020 and decreases thereafter with intermittent rises. By mid-2025, short-term debt values drop to negligible amounts or are missing.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable show moderate fluctuations over time. After a peak near $1.19 billion in September 2019, the values decrease in early 2020 and gradually rise again, reaching about $1.9 billion by mid-2025. This may suggest some recovery or increased purchasing activity in later periods.
Accrued Liabilities and Payroll
Accrued liabilities exhibit a peak in mid-2019 at around $3.45 billion, followed by a notable decline to below $1.3 billion in mid-2020, potentially reflecting cost control or operational adjustments. Afterward, accrued liabilities trend upward again, nearing $2.25 billion in mid-2025.
Accrued payroll and benefits data starts appearing in June 2019 and generally increase over time, from roughly $664 million to $852 million by October 2024, showing a consistent rising trend indicative of either workforce expansion or wage increases.
Operating Lease Liabilities
Both current and long-term operating lease liabilities remain relatively stable after their appearance in late 2019, hovering around $1.2-1.5 billion (current portion) and approximately $7.5-9 billion (long-term portion). The long-term portion slightly increases toward the later periods, indicating ongoing lease commitments.
Deferred Revenue and Stored Value Card Liability
Deferred revenue steadily declines from around $6.8 billion at the end of 2018 to approximately $5.8 billion by mid-2025. This trend may reflect changes in customer prepayments or advances.
The stored value card liability exhibits more volatility, with values rising sharply at certain points such as early 2022 and early 2023, reaching around $2.25 billion, suggesting fluctuating usage or sales of stored value cards.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt excluding the current portion rises noticeably from about $9.13 billion at the end of 2018 to peaks of roughly $14.7 billion in late 2020. Afterward, it fluctuates with some declines and increases, ending near $14.6 billion by mid-2025. This pattern suggests refinancing or additional borrowings over time.
The current portion of long-term debt demonstrates significant volatility. It peaks multiple times, reaching around $2 billion in early 2022 and again in mid-2025, indicating substantial portions of debt maturing in those periods.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities increase markedly from approximately $22.9 billion at the end of 2018 to peaks over $41.3 billion by mid-2025. This increase is driven primarily by growth in long-term liabilities and some rise in current liabilities in recent years.
Equity and Deficit Trends
Retained deficit consistently worsens from roughly -$2.58 billion at the end of 2018 to about -$7.7 billion by mid-2025, indicating accumulated losses or distributions exceeding earnings.
Shareholders’ deficit follows a similar negative trend, moving from approximately -$2.88 billion to nearly -$7.7 billion, reflecting continued negative equity.
Additional paid-in capital exhibits significant variability, initially stable, followed by large increases in 2020 and beyond, with some declines and rises thereafter, indicating equity infusions or adjustments.
Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss remains negative overall, with fluctuations indicating unrealized losses on certain comprehensive income items; however, some positive spikes occur intermittently.
Total Deficit and Combined Liabilities and Deficit
Total deficit trends mirror retained earnings trends, deepening negatively over time. Despite this, the sum of total liabilities and deficit grows, driven by significant liability increases, reaching above $33.6 billion by mid-2025.
