Current liabilities
The current liabilities show an overall increasing trend from May 2019 through November 2025, with some fluctuations. Starting at approximately $503 million in May 2019, the amount rises to over $1.8 billion by late 2025. Notable spikes occur around January 2022 and October 2024. This growth suggests expanding short-term financial obligations, with particular increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable increased notably from around $88 million in May 2019 to a peak of about $385 million by October 2024. After this peak, there is a slight decrease but the values remain higher compared to earlier periods. This increase reflects greater purchasing activity or delayed payments to suppliers over time.
Accrued liabilities and other
There is a significant rise from under $9 million in May 2019 to more than $620 million by November 2025. This sharp increase suggests either a change in recording or recognition of liabilities, or rising obligations in accrued expenses and related accounts.
Accrued compensation and related expenses
This liability shows volatility, with values ranging from around $70 million to over $326 million across quarters. Peaks occur in early 2023 and show a partial decrease afterwards; this pattern may reflect changes in payroll expenses, bonuses, or compensation accrual policies.
Operating lease liabilities (current and non-current)
Both current and non-current operating lease liabilities demonstrate growth over the period. Current operating leases increased from approximately $127 million to over $317 million, while non-current operating leases expanded from about $538 million to nearly $1.45 billion by late 2025. This indicates increased leasing commitments or longer lease terms over time.
Income taxes payable (current and non-current)
Current income taxes payable fluctuate widely, with spikes at various times such as over $183 million in October 2024, followed by declines. Non-current income taxes payable show a decreasing trend, starting near $38 million and dropping to around $16 million before disappearing from later data. The changes imply variability in tax liabilities, possibly due to tax credits, payments, or adjustments in deferred tax planning.
Unredeemed gift card liability
This liability increased substantially from about $85 million to over $300 million across the timeframe, with some cyclical variations. The rising balance indicates growth in customer prepayments or gift card sales outstanding.
Other current and non-current liabilities
Other current liabilities vary moderately, with no clear consistent trend but occasional increases and decreases around $30 million to $50 million. Other non-current liabilities show steady growth, roughly doubling over the period from about $3.7 million to over $54 million, indicating rising miscellaneous obligations.
Total liabilities
The total liabilities expanded significantly from approximately $1.1 billion to an excess of $3.4 billion by November 2025, more than tripling. This reflects the combined effect of increases in current liabilities, operating lease liabilities, and other obligations, suggesting growth in operational scale and financial commitments.
Stockholders' equity
Stockholders' equity grew steadily from about $1.37 billion in May 2019 to approximately $4.5 billion by late 2025. Despite some fluctuations, the consistent upward trend indicates retained earnings growth and possibly equity injections. Notably, retained earnings increased from around $1.28 billion to over $4.2 billion.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings display a strong upward trajectory over time, reflecting cumulative profitability. Some minor declines are seen in certain quarters but the overall trend is a robust increase from $1.28 billion to over $4.2 billion by mid-2025.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
The accumulated other comprehensive loss exhibits volatility with significant fluctuations, ranging roughly between -$232 million to -$424 million. The loss deepened notably around October 2024, suggesting impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments, derivatives, or other comprehensive income components.
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
The combined total of liabilities and equity nearly triples from about $2.46 billion in May 2019 to around $7.95 billion by the end of the period. This signals considerable balance sheet expansion consistent with business growth and increased financial activity.
Common stock and additional paid-in capital
Common stock value remains relatively stable with a slight declining trend in par value units, from $615 thousand to $564 thousand. Additional paid-in capital shows a steady increase from $317 million to about $646 million, indicating ongoing capital contributions or stock issuances above par value.
