- Current borrowings
- Current borrowings as a percentage of total liabilities and equity fluctuated between approximately 0.16% and 2.85% over the periods, showing slightly higher volatility in recent quarters with a peak in early 2018 followed by a modest decline.
- Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities
- This category exhibited a general decline over the timeline, starting near 9.41%, decreasing to under 5% by the end of 2018, indicating a gradual reduction in these short-term obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Participations, residuals and royalties payable
- Values remained relatively stable, fluctuating mildly around the 3% mark, with minor variations but no strong trend, suggesting consistent levels of these payables relative to the company’s capital structure.
- Program rights payable
- The percentage showed some variation, rising to just above 3% at times but trending downward after 2014, falling to around 1.7% by late 2018, indicating a decrease in this liability component relative to the total.
- Deferred revenue
- Deferred revenue remained fairly steady, generally slightly above 1% until a slight increase occurred near the end of the timeline, reaching around 1.5%, suggesting modest growth in unearned revenue liabilities.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities fluctuated across the period, peaking close to 17% early on, then generally declining to around 12% by the end of 2018, indicating a reduction in short-term obligations in proportion to the company's total capital base.
- Non-current borrowings
- Non-current borrowings showed a marked increase from about 23.8% in early 2013 to peak above 40% in 2015-2016, followed by a gradual decline to under 28% at the end of 2018. This pattern reflects significant borrowing activity followed by a deleveraging trend.
- Other liabilities
- This category showed slight fluctuations mostly between 5.6% and 7.8%, with no clear long-term trend, indicating stable proportions relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Deferred income taxes
- Deferred income taxes increased from under 4% in 2012 to approximately 5.5%-6% during 2015-2016, then declined to around 3% by late 2018, showing some variability likely related to tax planning or timing differences.
- Non-current liabilities
- Non-current liabilities rose substantially from about 34% in early 2013 to a high above 53% in 2016, before decreasing sharply to under 37% by the end of 2018, reflecting a significant shift in the long-term debt and other obligations over time.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities peaked at around 67% mid-2016, then showed a steady decline to below 49% by late 2018. This indicates a notable reduction in the company’s leverage or obligations relative to total capitalization during the later years.
- Redeemable noncontrolling interests
- This metric held steady near 1% across most periods, with a minor peak over 1.4% in early 2018 before declining to under 1% by the end of 2018, showing limited impact on the overall capital structure.
- Stock components and capital accounts (Class A and Class B common stock, Additional paid-in capital)
- Class A and Class B common stock percentages remained negligible and stable at around 0.01% to 0.03%. Additional paid-in capital peaked near 31% in mid-2013, then gradually decreased to about 19% by late 2018, reflecting changes in equity contributions or reclassifications.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings show a rising trend from the earliest available data point in 2014 (around 4.4%) to over 32% by late 2018, indicating substantial accumulation of profits or earnings retained within the company.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- The accumulated other comprehensive loss increased in magnitude (negative values growing from around -0.06% to about -4.8%) before receding slightly to approximately -2.85%, indicating volatility in unrealized losses or other comprehensive components.
- Total stockholders’ equity and total equity
- Total equity as a proportion of total liabilities and equity showed considerable variation, initially near 45% in 2012, dipping below 32% during 2014-2016, and then rising steadily to about 50% by the end of 2018. This trend suggests a strengthening equity position and reduced leverage over time.
