- Current liabilities composition and trend
- The proportion of current liabilities relative to total liabilities and deficit showed a generally increasing trend from about 57% in early 2020 to peak levels above 69% by late 2023. This increase indicates a rising share of short-term obligations within the total liabilities structure. Within current liabilities, advances and progress billings consistently represented the largest component, increasing from roughly 33-37% in 2020 to nearly 44% by early 2024, highlighting an increasing reliance on customer advances or contract billings. Accounts payable showed a declining trend from over 10% in early 2020 to around 7-8% afterward. Accrued liabilities fluctuated but remained fairly stable between 13% and 16%, with a modest upward bias by 2025. Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt displayed irregular movements, peaking intermittently but averaging below 5%. Overall, current liabilities formed the dominant portion of total liabilities throughout the period, trending slightly upward in relative terms.
- Long-term liabilities and debt profile
- Long-term liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and deficit decreased gradually from over 54% in late 2020 to roughly 36% by 2025, reflecting a shift from long-term to current liabilities or reduction in long-term obligations. Correspondingly, long-term debt excluding current portion remained relatively steady around 34-41% until 2024, followed by a decline to near 29-30% by 2025, indicating partial deleveraging or repayment. Other long-term liabilities were a minor component but generally showed slight increases, moving from below 1% in early 2020 to about 1.5% by late 2025. Deferred income taxes remained minimal, mostly under 1%, displaying no significant impact. The accrued pension plan liability exhibited a marked reduction from above 11% in early 2020 to under 4% by 2025, suggesting pension obligations or related accounting impacts diminished substantially over time. Accrued retiree health care also declined steadily from over 3% to below 1.5%, reinforcing the downward movement in long-term benefit liabilities.
- Equity and deficit trends
- Shareholders’ deficit as a percentage of total liabilities and deficit fluctuated notably, worsening from about -7% in early 2020 to over -12% by late 2023 and then improving sharply to roughly -2% mid-2025, before deteriorating again to -5.5% at the end. This suggests volatility in equity, possibly driven by changes in retained earnings and comprehensive income. Retained earnings declined steadily from nearly 35% in early 2020 to a low single-digit level close to 6% by late 2025, indicating consistent losses or dividend distributions exceeding earnings during this timeframe. Additional paid-in capital grew from about 4.6% to over 12% by 2025, implying infusion of capital or issuance of shares. Treasury stock showed a marked reduction in absolute negative figures, moving from approximately -38% down to around -20%, meaning fewer shares were held as treasury stock relative to total liabilities and deficit. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased in magnitude but remained negative, shifting from -11% to roughly -7%, indicating some recovery in items accounted for within comprehensive income but still representing a net loss.
- Overall liabilities and equity balance
- Total liabilities consistently exceeded 100% of total liabilities and deficit throughout the period, fluctuating mainly between 102% and 117%. This is due to the negative equity balance (deficit), which depressed total shareholders’ equity proportions. The small presence of noncontrolling interests diminished over time to near zero, showing minimal external ownership influence. The overall liability and equity structure displays a sizable and persistent shareholders' deficit, balanced by high levels of liabilities, particularly current liabilities dominated by advances and progress billings. The data indicates a financial structure heavily weighted toward obligations and liabilities, with equity positions strained and showing recurring deficits.
