The balance sheet reflects a period of significant expansion in both total liabilities and shareholders' equity from March 2021 through March 2026. Total liabilities and shareholders' equity grew from approximately 12.1 billion USD to 26.5 billion USD, indicating a substantial increase in the overall scale of the company's financial position.

Current Liabilities Trends: Current liabilities exhibited a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from 1.94 billion USD in March 2021 to 3.88 billion USD by March 2026. This growth was primarily driven by accrued expenses, which rose from 1.53 billion USD to 2.98 billion USD over the same period. Accounts payable also showed a marked increase, growing from 127.8 million USD to 489.3 million USD, suggesting an increase in short-term operational obligations.
Long-term Liabilities and Obligations: Long-term liabilities more than doubled, rising from 1.19 billion USD in March 2021 to 3.24 billion USD in March 2026. A notable shift occurred in long-term operating lease liabilities, which remained relatively stable around 350-380 million USD until June 2024, after which they surged to 1.99 billion USD by March 2026. Other long-term liabilities also increased steadily from 822.3 million USD to 1.26 billion USD.
Shareholders' Equity Growth: Shareholders' equity demonstrated strong growth, expanding from 8.98 billion USD in March 2021 to 19.36 billion USD in March 2026. This expansion was fundamentally driven by a massive accumulation of retained earnings, which climbed from 1.51 billion USD to 14.59 billion USD. Conversely, additional paid-in capital experienced a downward trend, decreasing from a peak of 7.5 billion USD in March 2021 to 4.74 billion USD in March 2026, which may indicate the impact of share repurchase programs.
Overall Financial Solvency: Despite the increase in total liabilities, the company's solvency position strengthened as equity grew at a faster rate than debt. The ratio of total liabilities to shareholders' equity decreased over the analyzed period, as equity grew by approximately 115% while total liabilities grew by approximately 127%, though the absolute magnitude of equity remains significantly higher than total liabilities, indicating a conservative capital structure heavily funded by retained earnings.
