The composition of liabilities and shareholders’ equity exhibited several notable shifts over the observed period, spanning from March 31, 2021, to December 31, 2025. Overall, a gradual increase in the proportion of shareholders’ equity relative to total liabilities and equity is apparent, particularly in the later periods. Conversely, the proportion of total liabilities demonstrated more fluctuation, with a notable increase in late 2024 and early 2025.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities, as a percentage of the total, remained relatively stable between 15.03% and 16.05% from March 2021 through December 2021. A subsequent increase was observed, peaking at 17.62% in March 2023, before declining to 15.06% by December 2023. A further increase to 18.00% in September 2025 suggests a potential trend towards increased short-term obligations. Within current liabilities, accrued expenses consistently represented the largest component, fluctuating between approximately 11.68% and 14.60% of the total.
Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities demonstrated a decreasing trend from 9.83% in March 2021 to a low of 6.39% in September 2022. However, a subsequent increase occurred, reaching 12.34% in September 2025. This increase was primarily driven by a significant rise in long-term operating lease liabilities, which increased from 2.09% in December 2022 to 7.38% in September 2025. Other long-term liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately 4.10% and 6.79%.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity consistently comprised the majority of the company’s capital structure, ranging from 74.12% to 77.34% over the period. Retained earnings constituted the largest portion of shareholders’ equity, increasing from 12.48% in March 2021 to 52.88% in December 2025, indicating substantial accumulated profits. Additional paid-in capital decreased over time, from 61.90% in March 2021 to 19.96% in December 2025, potentially reflecting share repurchases or other capital allocation strategies. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) remained relatively small, fluctuating around zero.
Total Liabilities and Equity
Total liabilities as a percentage of the total decreased from 25.88% in March 2021 to 22.01% in September 2022, then increased to 30.34% in September 2025. This suggests a shift in the company’s capital structure, with a greater reliance on liabilities in the most recent periods. The overall trend indicates a growing equity base, particularly driven by retained earnings, alongside fluctuating levels of both current and long-term liabilities.

The observed increases in long-term operating lease liabilities and current liabilities in the later periods warrant further investigation to understand the underlying drivers and potential implications for the company’s financial flexibility and risk profile.
