Accounts Payable
The proportion of accounts payable relative to total liabilities and stockholders' equity experienced fluctuations over the periods. Starting at 11.2% in 2018, it increased to 12.66% in 2019, then declined sharply to 8.51% in 2020, followed by a slight recovery reaching 11.6% in 2022, and then a modest decrease to 10.42% in 2023.
Accrued Payroll, Bonus, and Employee Benefits
This category showed minor increases over time. Beginning at 2.84% in 2018, it remained relatively stable around 3% in 2019, dipped to 1.59% in 2020, and then progressively increased to reach 3.42% by 2023, indicating some volatility but an overall upward trend in recent years.
Accrued Taxes
The ratio remained relatively consistent with slight variations, moving from 0.97% in 2018 to 1.1% in 2023, with a dip to 0.72% in 2021, suggesting stable tax accrual obligations as a proportion of total financing sources.
Accrued Capital Expenditures
This item appears in the data starting in 2022 with 0.51% and increasing to 1.03% in 2023, marking a recent growth in accrued capital expenditure obligations.
Accrued Advertising
Advertising accrual was absent prior to 2021 but entered at 0.46% in 2021, rose to 1.04% in 2022, and then decreased to 0.76% in 2023, indicating some variability in advertising expenses accrued towards the end of the period analyzed.
Other Accrued Liabilities
Showed a gradual decrease from 2.69% in 2018 to 1.81% in 2021, followed by a slight increase reaching 1.97% in 2023, exhibiting a generally declining trend with recent mild growth.
Accrued Liabilities (Total)
This aggregate measure declined from 6.5% in 2018 to 5.06% in 2020, then increased steadily to 8.27% by 2023, indicating increased accrued expenses relative to total capital structure in recent years.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue rose notably from 3.89% in 2018 to a peak of 7.42% in 2022, stabilizing slightly at 7.35% in 2023, which may suggest increasing recognition of revenues in advance.
Current Operating Lease Liabilities
Data from 2020 onwards show a modest rise from 4.93% to a peak of 5.75% in 2022, followed by a slight decrease to 5.28% in 2023, reflecting the impact of operating lease commitments under accounting standards changes.
Accrued Income Taxes
Values for this item are sparse; noted are 0.48% in 2018, rising to 0.84% in 2021, then declining to 0.27% in 2022, with no data for 2023, suggesting some variability and incomplete data for recent periods.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities generally increased during the timeframe, starting at 22.08% in 2018, rising to 25.81% in 2019, then fluctuating but reaching a high of 32.7% in 2022 before slightly decreasing to 31.32% in 2023, indicating a growing short-term liability position relative to total capital.
Non-current Operating Lease Liabilities
Introduced in 2020 at 34.93%, this item slightly decreased over the subsequent years, reaching 30.16% by 2023, evidencing substantial long-term lease obligations incorporated into the capital structure.
Deferred Rent
Reported only for 2018 and 2019 at approximately 14%, this category disappears from later periods, likely reflecting changes in accounting presentation or policy.
Deferred Income Taxes
These liabilities decreased from 2.04% in 2018 to 0.83% in 2022, but slightly rebounded to 1.03% in 2023, suggesting a downward trend in deferred tax liabilities with some reversal recently.
Other Long-term Liabilities
These liabilities showed minor fluctuations between 0.75% and 1.23%, peaking in 2022 before declining slightly in 2023, indicating a relatively stable component within long-term obligations.
Long-term Liabilities
There is a marked increase from 16.93% in 2018 to 37.51% in 2020, stabilizing around 32%-35% thereafter, highlighting a significant rise in long-term debt or similar obligations beginning in 2020 that continues at elevated levels through to 2023.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities as a percentage of capital increased from 39% in 2018 to a peak of 67.77% in 2022, slightly retreating to 63.51% in 2023. This trend reflects a growing reliance on liabilities in the company’s capital structure, with considerable buildup primarily between 2019 and 2022.
Common Stock, $0.01 Par Value
This component remained stable and negligible throughout the period, consistently near 0.01%-0.02% of total capital, indicating limited changes in par value stock as a percentage of the total capital.
Treasury Stock-Common, at Cost
Treasury stock, shown as a negative component, increased in absolute percentage terms from -0.65% in 2018 to -1.13% in 2023, indicating an increasing repurchase or holding of treasury shares over time.
Additional Paid-in Capital
This metric declined sharply from 24.03% in 2018 to 16.6% in 2020, followed by a partial recovery to around 19% in the last two years, suggesting some reduction in capital contributed in excess of par value before recent stabilization.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings as a proportion of total capital decreased significantly from 37.59% in 2018 to a low of 13.71% in 2022, with a modest increase to 18.54% in 2023, reflecting fluctuations in accumulated profits relative to total financing sources.
Stockholders' Equity
Equity financing decreased from 61% in 2018 to a low point of 32.23% in 2022, with a slight recovery to 36.49% in 2023. This trend indicates a diminishing equity base relative to total liabilities, consistent with the observed increase in liabilities over the period.
