The liabilities and stockholders’ equity of the company demonstrate significant fluctuations over the analyzed period, spanning from January 2020 to October 2025. Overall, both total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity increased substantially, particularly in the later years of the period. A detailed examination of specific liability and equity components reveals distinct trends.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities exhibited considerable volatility. Initially increasing from approximately US$374 million in January 2020 to a peak of US$809 million in October 2022, they decreased to US$699 million in January 2024 before rising sharply to US$1,326 million in October 2025. This suggests potential shifts in the company’s payment practices, operational scaling, or timing of expense recognition.
Current Operating Lease Liabilities & Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities
Current operating lease liabilities remained relatively stable between US$68 million and US$104 million throughout the period. Long-term operating lease liabilities also showed relative stability, fluctuating between approximately US$460 million and US$680 million, with a noticeable increase towards the end of the period. The combined trend indicates a consistent, though evolving, commitment to lease obligations.
Current Deferred Revenue
Current deferred revenue generally remained high, fluctuating around US$1.4 billion to US$1.9 billion. A significant increase is observed in the final periods, reaching US$2.246 billion in October 2025, potentially indicating increased upfront revenue collection or changes in revenue recognition policies.
Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt decreased significantly from US$209 million in January 2020 to minimal amounts in later periods, suggesting a shift away from short-term borrowing. A small amount reappeared in April 2025.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt decreased substantially from US$123 million in January 2020 to a low of US$21 million in July 2022. It remained relatively low throughout the rest of the period, indicating a reduction in reliance on long-term debt financing.
Other Long-Term Liabilities
Other long-term liabilities demonstrated a general upward trend, increasing from US$314 million in January 2020 to approximately US$1.8 billion in October 2025. This substantial increase warrants further investigation to understand the underlying components driving this growth.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities increased significantly over the period, rising from approximately US$3.05 billion in January 2020 to US$20.62 billion in April 2025 and US$28.33 billion in October 2025. This increase is primarily driven by the growth in other long-term liabilities and current deferred revenue, alongside the fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Common Stock & Capital in Excess of Par Value
Common stock remained relatively constant, while capital in excess of par value experienced fluctuations, decreasing from US$1.627 billion in January 2020 to US$1.183 billion in January 2024, then increasing to US$1.211 billion in July 2025. These changes may be related to stock repurchases or issuances.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings exhibited a consistent upward trend, increasing from US$3.268 billion in January 2020 to US$10.315 billion in July 2025. This indicates strong profitability and reinvestment of earnings.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock, at cost, consistently decreased over the period, moving from a negative US$664 million in January 2020 to a negative US$398 million in July 2025. This suggests ongoing stock repurchase activity.
Total Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity increased substantially, from US$4.155 billion in January 2020 to US$28.327 billion in October 2025. This growth is primarily attributable to the increase in retained earnings, partially offset by changes in treasury stock and capital in excess of par value.

In summary, the company experienced significant growth in both liabilities and stockholders’ equity. The most notable changes were the substantial increase in other long-term liabilities, the growth in retained earnings, and the consistent reduction in short-term and long-term debt. The fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the increase in deferred revenue, also warrant further scrutiny.
