Liabilities Trends
The total liabilities have exhibited a consistent upward trend from 33.25 billion USD in 2017 to a peak of 56.75 billion USD in 2021, before a slight decrease to approximately 56.49 billion USD in 2022. Current liabilities followed a similar pattern, increasing steadily from 26.82 billion USD in 2017 to 43.48 billion USD in 2022. Accounts payable have grown significantly over the period, from about 25.4 billion USD to 40.2 billion USD, indicating increasing obligations to suppliers or operational scale.
Short-term and Long-term Debt
Short-term debt showed notable volatility, increasing sharply from 12.1 million USD in 2017 to over 1.07 billion USD by 2022, with a peak in 2020 followed by fluctuations. Long-term debt, net of current portion, increased from about 3.43 billion USD in 2017 to a high of approximately 6.38 billion USD in 2021, before decreasing to around 4.63 billion USD in 2022. This pattern suggests adjustments in the company's long-term financing structure.
Other Liabilities
Accrued litigation liabilities were recorded starting in 2020, reaching almost 6.2 billion USD, then declining to 5.46 billion USD by 2022. Deferred income taxes showed a general decline from 2.49 billion USD in 2017 to about 1.62 billion USD in 2022, with fluctuations in between. Other liabilities and accrued expenses displayed increases and fluctuations, reflecting changes in various obligations.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity has been volatile, with a peak of around 3.04 billion USD in 2018 followed by a decline to negative equity positions in 2020 (-839 million USD) and 2022 (-212 thousand USD). The company experienced negative retained earnings in 2020, but values recovered somewhat by 2022. Treasury stock has increased in cost continuously, reaching nearly 7.02 billion USD in 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive loss worsened significantly in 2021 and 2022, indicating increasing unrealized losses or adjustments impacting equity negatively.
Total Capital Structure
The total liabilities and stockholders’ equity increased from 35.3 billion USD in 2017 to a high of approximately 57.34 billion USD in 2021, then slightly decreased to 56.56 billion USD in 2022. The growth in liabilities has outpaced equity growth, leading to reduced net equity and more leveraged capital structure over the period. Noncontrolling interests increased steadily, implying some diversification in ownership interests.
Summary
The financial data reveals that liabilities, particularly current liabilities and accounts payable, have grown substantially over the years, indicating expansion and possibly higher operational demands. Debt levels have fluctuated, with both short-term and long-term debts showing increases and subsequent adjustments. The introduction of accrued litigation liabilities in 2020 and their high values suggest significant legal or regulatory challenges. Equity components have been volatile, impacted by increased treasury stock costs and comprehensive losses, leading to periods of negative equity. Overall, the company shows signs of increased leverage and financial complexity through the examined periods.
