The analyzed data reflects quarterly financial trends over multiple years, presenting a comprehensive view of liabilities, equity, and other financial components.

Accounts payable
The accounts payable showed a steady increase from US$3,970 million in March 2020 to a peak of US$15,904 million in March 2023, followed by a slight decline and fluctuations thereafter. The values exhibited some volatility but generally maintained a high level above US$13,000 million in the most recent periods.
Accrued liabilities and other current liabilities
Accrued liabilities and other related current liabilities demonstrated continuous growth, rising from US$2,825 million in March 2020 to approximately US$11,519 million projected in June 2025, indicating increasing short-term obligations over time.
Deferred revenue (current and net of current portion)
Current deferred revenue fluctuated with some increases and decreases, rising from US$1,186 million in March 2020 to around US$3,237 million by March 2025. Deferred revenue net of current portion also increased steadily from US$1,199 million to an estimated US$3,764 million over the same timeframe, suggesting growth in unearned revenues potentially tied to longer-term contracts or services.
Debt and finance leases
The current portion of debt and finance leases showed a decreasing trend from US$4,005 million in March 2020 to US$2,040 million in June 2025, indicating a reduction in short-term debt obligations. Conversely, long-term debt and finance leases net of current portion decreased sharply between 2020 and 2022 but showed a resurgence beginning in late 2023, reaching US$5,180 million by June 2025, reflecting new long-term financing activities.
Total current liabilities and long-term liabilities
Total current liabilities increased steadily from US$11,986 million in Q1 2020 to projected figures exceeding US$30,000 million by 2025. Long-term liabilities initially decreased but reversed course in recent quarters, rising from US$10,162 million in March 2023 to a projected US$20,487 million in June 2025, a strong indication of growing long-term financial commitments.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities rose from US$26,518 million in early 2020 to a peak of approximately US$49,142 million in Q1 2024, with a slight reduction afterward but ultimately projected to increase again to US$50,495 million by mid-2025. This overall growth points to an increasing leverage position over the analyzed period.
Equity components
Common stock value remained relatively stable after initial minor changes. Additional paid-in capital grew consistently, from US$15,390 million to over US$40,000 million by mid-2025, reflecting significant capital infusions or stock issuance.
Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss fluctuated widely, with periods of notable losses and modest gains, suggesting exposure to market or foreign currency risks.
Retained earnings showed substantial improvement, evolving from a deficit of around US$6,104 million in March 2020 to a positive balance exceeding US$36,000 million by mid-2025, indicating sustained profitability or accumulated net income over the periods.
Total stockholders’ equity expanded notably from US$9,173 million in early 2020 to approximately US$77,314 million projected for mid-2025, reinforcing a strong equity growth trend accompanying increased capital contributions and earnings retention.
Overall financial structure
Total liabilities and equity grew from US$37,250 million in Q1 2020 to an estimated US$128,567 million by June 2025, demonstrating substantial balance sheet expansion consistent across liabilities and equity.
The rising liabilities coupled with growing equity indicate both increased operational scale and investment, with profitability contributing significantly to equity growth as retained earnings move into a solid positive range.
