Accrued Liabilities and Other
Accrued liabilities steadily increased over the period, rising from about 2.8 billion USD in early 2020 to over 10.8 billion USD by March 2025, indicating growing accrued expenses or obligations.
Deferred Revenue (Current and Non-Current)
Current deferred revenue experienced fluctuations but generally increased, particularly notable surges in mid-2023 and onward, reaching over 3.2 billion USD by early 2025. Non-current deferred revenue also showed a consistent upward trend, increasing from approximately 1.2 billion USD in 2020 to around 3.6 billion USD by early 2025.
Current Portion of Debt and Finance Leases
This liability component decreased from 4.0 billion USD in March 2020 to about 2.2 billion USD in March 2025, suggesting debt repayment or refinancing activities focusing on short-term obligations.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased steadily from approximately 12.0 billion USD in March 2020 to peak above 30.5 billion USD by early 2025, reflecting expanded short-term obligations, which may correlate with business growth or increased operational costs.
Long-Term Debt and Liabilities
Net long-term debt (excluding current portion) decreased substantially from around 10.7 billion USD in early 2020 to approximately 5292 million USD in December 2022, but then increased again, reaching roughly 5.3 billion USD by March 2025. Other long-term liabilities consistently grew from 2.7 billion USD in 2020 to over 11.0 billion USD by early 2025. Overall, long-term liabilities exhibit a pattern of reduction followed by resurgence, possibly indicating restructuring or new financing activities.
Total Liabilities

Equity Components

Common stock count remained largely stable with a minimal par value, while additional paid-in capital increased from around 15.4 billion USD in 2020 to nearly 39.5 billion USD by 2025, indicating consistent capital increases likely from issuing shares or convertible instruments.

Retained earnings shifted from a significant accumulated deficit of around -6.1 billion USD in March 2020 to substantial positive retained earnings exceeding 35.6 billion USD by March 2025, reflecting improved profitability and accumulated earnings over the period.

Accumulated other comprehensive income fluctuated significantly but remained mostly negative post-2021, pointing toward potential unrealized losses or unfavorable valuation adjustments.

Total stockholders' equity surged from approximately 9.2 billion USD to about 74.7 billion USD over the five-year span, signaling strong equity growth corresponding with retained earnings and capital raises.

Total Liabilities and Equity
The combined total of liabilities and equity rose substantially from about 37.3 billion USD in early 2020 to around 125.1 billion USD by March 2025. This growth reflects both increases in obligations and shareholders’ equity, indicating overall expansion of the balance sheet.
Summary Insights
Over the analyzed period, the company exhibits significant growth in total liabilities and equity, corresponding with expanding operational scale or investment activities. There is evidence of debt reduction followed by renewed borrowing, as well as increasing accrued and deferred liabilities, which may relate to business expansion. Equity growth is robust, driven by rising retained earnings and paid-in capital, suggesting improved profitability and shareholder investment. The trends in comprehensive income and noncontrolling interests suggest some volatility in other comprehensive components but stable minority interest levels. Overall, the financial position reflects broad growth with evolving financing and operational commitments.
