The composition of liabilities and shareholders’ equity exhibited several notable trends over the observed period from April 2020 to July 2025. Current liabilities consistently represented a significant portion of the total, generally ranging between 34% and 41%. Long-term liabilities also constituted a substantial component, typically between 25% and 33%. Shareholders’ equity demonstrated a generally stable presence, fluctuating between approximately 29% and 38% of the total.

Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings were initially low, fluctuating around 1% between April 2020 and January 2022. A significant increase was observed in April 2022, peaking at 4.64%, before declining again to around 1% to 2% for the remainder of the period. This suggests a strategic use of short-term debt, potentially for working capital management or specific investment opportunities, followed by a return to more conventional levels.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable remained relatively stable, consistently representing between 18% and 24% of the total. A slight upward trend was visible from 2020 to 2022, followed by a modest decline and stabilization around 22% to 24% through July 2025. This indicates consistent supplier credit terms and effective management of payables.
Dividends Payable
Dividends payable exhibited a cyclical pattern, generally around 1% to 2%, with peaks observed in April/May and subsequent declines. The pattern remained consistent throughout the period, suggesting a regular dividend payment schedule.
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities showed a moderate increase over the period, moving from approximately 8% to 11% of the total. There were fluctuations, peaking in January 2023, but the overall trend indicated a growing level of accrued expenses. This could be related to increased operational activity or changes in accounting practices.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt, both current and non-current portions, demonstrated a gradual decline from 2020 to 2024. While there were minor fluctuations, the overall trend suggested a reduction in long-term debt obligations. A slight increase was observed in the latter part of the period, but levels remained below those seen in 2020. The combined long-term debt represented approximately 25% to 33% of the total.
Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity showed a generally increasing trend from 2020 to 2025, fluctuating between approximately 32% and 38% of the total. Retained earnings were the primary driver of this increase, while common stock and capital in excess of par value remained relatively stable. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consistently offset a portion of the gains in retained earnings, but its impact lessened over time. Nonredeemable noncontrolling interest remained a small, but consistent, component.

Overall, the liability structure appeared relatively stable, with current liabilities and long-term debt representing the largest portions. Shareholders’ equity demonstrated a positive trend, driven primarily by retained earnings. The fluctuations in short-term borrowings suggest a dynamic approach to financing, while the consistent levels of accounts payable indicate effective supplier relationships. The observed trends suggest a financially healthy position with a balanced approach to debt and equity financing.
