- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable shows wide fluctuations over the observed periods, with values ranging between 33 million USD and peaking at 154 million USD in the first quarter of 2023. The trend appears volatile rather than steadily increasing or decreasing, reflecting variability in short-term obligations to suppliers.
- Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

- Accrued Compensation
- Accrued compensation steadily increased over the timeframe, starting at 192 million USD in July 2019 and peaking at 578 million USD in January 2024. There are some fluctuations but the overall direction is upward, indicating growing liabilities related to employee compensation.
- Unearned Revenue, Current
- Current unearned revenue consistently increased, starting around 1.7 billion USD in April 2019 and surging to over 4 billion USD by January 2024. This suggests a strong growth in deferred revenue, possibly due to increased customer prepayments or contractual obligations.

- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities generally trended upward with notable peaks correlating with periods of higher debt and accrued obligations, increasing from approximately 2.4 billion USD to a peak near 5.5 billion USD in January 2025.
