The capital structure exhibits a period of significant volatility between 2021 and 2023, followed by a phase of stabilization through mid-2026. Total liabilities generally constitute the majority of the balance sheet, fluctuating between 66.53% and 73.57%, with a notable peak in late 2022 before settling into a range of approximately 69% to 70% in recent periods.

Current Liability Trends
Current liabilities have experienced a general contraction, moving from a range of 14% to 15% in 2021 to approximately 12% by 2026. This decline is largely driven by a reduction in debt maturing within one year, which peaked at 4.74% in March 2022 and reached a low of 0.67% in September 2024. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have remained relatively stable, typically oscillating between 8% and 10% of total liabilities and equity.
Noncurrent Liability Profile
Noncurrent liabilities have expanded as a proportion of the total balance sheet, rising from 52.52% in early 2021 to stabilize around 57% to 58% in later years. Long-term debt, excluding the current portion, has remained consistently high, generally fluctuating between 29% and 32%. There is a observable upward trend in noncurrent deferred tax liabilities, which increased from 11.31% in March 2021 to approximately 14% by 2026. Similarly, deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities grew from 23.15% to a peak of 27.77% before stabilizing near 26%.
Stockholders' Equity Dynamics
Total stockholders' equity showed a marked decline during 2022, hitting a minimum of 26.43% in December of that year, before recovering to approximately 29.5% by June 2026. A critical component of this volatility is observed in retained earnings, which shifted from a positive 7.52% in early 2021 to a deficit of 4.82% in December 2022, followed by a steady recovery to a positive 4.74% by June 2026. This recovery indicates a return to cumulative profitability or a reduction in previous deficits.
Capital Adjustments and Treasury Activity
Additional paid-in capital saw a significant increase in late 2022, peaking at 30.68% before trending downward to 24.78% by mid-2026. Concurrently, the proportion of treasury stock has become increasingly negative, moving from -3.17% in March 2021 to -5.24% in June 2026, suggesting a consistent increase in share repurchases relative to the total balance sheet size.
