- Accounts payable
- The percentage of accounts payable relative to total liabilities and stockholders' equity shows notable fluctuations. It declined from around 27% in late 2018 to lows of approximately 18-20% during mid-2020 and late 2022. A sharp decline is observed beginning late 2023 towards early 2025, dropping below 6%. This suggests a reduced reliance on accounts payable financing during the most recent periods analyzed.
- Accrued liabilities
- The accrued liabilities maintain a moderate and somewhat stable proportion generally between 6% and 9%, peaking near 9% in early 2020. A declining trend follows beginning in mid-2021, with values decreasing gradually to around 2-3% by early 2025, indicating a downward trend in accrued obligations.
- Income taxes payable
- Income taxes payable remain relatively low throughout the periods, mostly under 1%, except for a noticeable rise around 2022 and 2023, peaking near 3.9%. A subsequent decline back to below 1% occurs by early 2025, reflecting volatility in tax liabilities possibly due to varying taxable income or tax planning strategies.
- Lines of credit and current portion of term loans
- This component demonstrates significant variability, starting low under 5%, spiking sharply between late 2020 and mid-2022, reaching over 14%, then falling back to low single digits or less by early 2025. This pattern implies fluctuating short-term borrowing activities, peaking around 2021-2022 before substantial repayment or reduced borrowing.
- Deferred revenue (current and non-current)
- Current deferred revenue shows minor fluctuations mostly between 3.5% and 6.5%, with some decline seen after 2021, indicating slight contraction in unearned revenues. Non-current deferred revenue similarly declines gradually from near 6% in 2019 to around 2-3% by early 2025, signaling a modest reduction in long-term deferred income obligations.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities as a whole exhibit a downward trend from around 42-45% in 2018 to a trough near 19-26% in late 2023 and early 2025. This substantial decrease suggests the company might be managing to reduce its short-term obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Term loans, non-current
- Non-current term loans data, available from mid-2020, initially increased sharply from near zero to over 5% by 2021-2022, followed by a steady decline to under 1% by early 2025. This suggests increased long-term borrowing peaking around 2021-2022, followed by repayments or refinancing.
- Convertible notes
- Convertible notes appear in data only from late 2023 onwards, constituting increasingly significant proportions—rising from about 15.7% to over 22% by late 2024, indicating new or increased convertible debt financing in recent periods.
- Other long-term liabilities
- These liabilities remain consistently low, mostly between 0.7% and 2.2%. A slight decline is noted over time, from higher levels in 2018-2019 towards under 1% by 2023, followed by a mild rise back toward 1.7% by early 2025, indicating relative stability in other long-term obligations.
- Non-current liabilities
- The non-current liabilities portion fluctuates between approximately 6% and 11% through 2018-2023, with a significant increase to above 19% by 2023-2025, largely influenced by the sudden appearance and growth of convertible notes and other liabilities. This points to increased long-term funding or deferred obligations in recent periods.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities as a percentage of the balance sheet decreased from near 50% in 2018 to about 36% by 2024, with some fluctuations, but a notable decline by early 2025 to around 36%, contrasting with an increase seen in 2023. This reflects an overall tapering of liabilities relative to total financing.
- Common stock and additional paid-in capital
- This equity component generally fluctuates between 14% and 22%, rising sharply to over 31% around late 2023 before retreating to about 27% by early 2025. These changes suggest significant equity issuances or adjustments during 2023, contributing to equity financing expansion during that period.
- Treasury stock
- Data on treasury stock is limited but shows a small negative value (around -1% to -2.8%) through early 2021, indicating some repurchased shares or cost of treasury stock. No data thereafter prevents further analysis.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
- This item remains negligible throughout the periods, consistently close to zero, indicating minimal impact from foreign currency translation adjustments or other comprehensive income components.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings demonstrate growth from about 32% in 2018 to a peak near 42% around late 2022, followed by a decline to approximately 25-27% in mid-2024, then slight recovery by early 2025. The overall trend suggests accumulation of profits until 2022, then significant distributions or losses reducing accumulated earnings afterwards.
- Total stockholders’ equity
- Total equity rose from near 50% in 2018 to over 59% during 2022-2023, achieving a high of 64% by late 2024, before declining to about 59% by early 2025. The increases primarily driven by equity issuances and retained earnings growth, with some volatility towards the end.
- Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
- This metric remains constant at 100%, confirming that all components are relative measures consistent over time.
- Summary
- The data reveals a trend toward gradually lower current liabilities and total liabilities proportion, accompanied by an increased equity base through additional paid-in capital and retained earnings for the majority of the period. The emergence and growth of convertible notes and term loans in recent years signal a shift to different long-term financing mechanisms. Declines in accrued liabilities and accounts payable proportions during recent periods suggest improved management of current payables. Overall, the financial structure indicates a strengthening equity position relative to liabilities with changes in financing mix towards the latter periods analyzed.
