The capital structure is characterized by a heavy reliance on equity financing, with shareholders' equity consistently accounting for the vast majority of total liabilities and shareholders' equity, typically ranging between 69% and 78%. Total liabilities remain relatively low and stable, fluctuating between 22% and 30% throughout the analyzed period.

Liability Trends and Composition
Current liabilities represent the primary component of the company's obligations, generally fluctuating between 14% and 18%. Accrued expenses are the most significant driver within this category, maintaining a consistent presence between 11% and 14% of the total balance sheet. Accounts payable remain a negligible factor, typically staying under 2%.
Long-Term Obligations
A notable shift in long-term liabilities occurred starting in June 2024, where long-term operating lease liabilities increased sharply from approximately 1.5% to a peak of 7.5% by March 2026. Other long-term liabilities showed a gradual decline from 6.79% in early 2021 to 4.74% by early 2026, suggesting a strategic shift in the nature of long-term obligations.
Equity Evolution
There is a profound transition in the composition of shareholders' equity. Additional paid-in capital has experienced a steady and significant decline, dropping from 61.90% in March 2021 to 17.91% by March 2026. This decline is mirrored by a substantial increase in retained earnings, which rose from 12.48% to 55.09% over the same period.

The redistribution of equity from contributed capital to retained earnings indicates a strong trend of internal capital generation and sustained profitability. The overall low leverage ratio and the increasing proportion of retained earnings suggest a high degree of financial solvency and a reduced dependence on external funding sources.
