Short-term debt obligations
Short-term debt obligations exhibited significant volatility throughout the periods, peaking sharply at the end of March 2022, followed by a notable decrease by September 2024. This indicates fluctuating short-term financing needs or repayments occurring over time.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable displayed relatively stable fluctuations, with values generally oscillating between approximately 2,400 million and 5,400 million USD. The increasing trend towards the later part of the timeline suggests growing obligations to suppliers or vendors.
Other current liabilities
Other current liabilities showed a gradual upward trend overall, rising from around 12,300 million to over 19,300 million USD by the last reported period. This consistent increase points to expanding miscellaneous current obligations.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities fluctuated within a broad range, peaking near 28,000 million USD at the start of the timeline and demonstrating several cycles of rise and decline. The general trend suggests an increase in overall short-term financial commitments in recent quarters.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes decreased steadily, starting above 6,500 million USD and dropping below 230 million USD by the timeline’s end. This decline may reflect changes in anticipated tax liabilities or benefits recognized over time.
Long-term debt, excluding current portion
Long-term debt displayed a declining pattern overall, falling from over 42,800 million USD to approximately 44,500 million USD, with some fluctuations. Notably, a spike occurred around mid-2024, indicating possible new debt issuance or refinancing activities.
Other non-current liabilities
Other non-current liabilities generally decreased from about 10,700 million USD to approximately 5,500 million USD, with some variability. This trend suggests a reduction in long-term miscellaneous obligations over the period.
Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities decreased steadily from roughly 60,000 million USD to just over 50,000 million USD, with a major surge between early and mid-2024. This rise might be associated with increased long-term obligations or debt financing during that timeframe.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities showed an overall declining trend from nearly 79,300 million USD to just above 78,200 million USD, with a significant peak in early 2024. The increase in liabilities corresponds with patterns observed in both current and non-current liabilities.
Common stock and capital in excess of par value of stock
Common stock remained constant at 292 million USD, while capital in excess of par value showed a moderate increase from about 43,254 million USD to 46,266 million USD, reflecting consistent equity capital growth.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss showed some oscillation but generally remained negative, fluctuating between approximately -1,800 million USD to around -1,200 million USD without a clear long-term trend.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings exhibited a rise until early 2023, reaching about 28,700 million USD, followed by a considerable drop to near 15,600 million USD in early 2024 before showing a modest recovery. This pattern might indicate dividend distributions, losses, or other adjustments impacting accumulated profits.
Cost of treasury stock
The cost of treasury stock increased in absolute terms over time, moving from around -24,700 million USD to approximately -43,500 million USD, suggesting ongoing share repurchases or treasury stock accumulation.
Total BMS shareholders’ equity
Total shareholders’ equity declined noticeably from about 49,900 million USD to approximately 18,500 million USD over the timeline, with a sharp decrease around early 2024, mirrored by changes in retained earnings and other components.
Noncontrolling interest
Noncontrolling interest remained relatively stable and low, fluctuating marginally between 48 million USD and 72 million USD, indicating minimal influence from minority stakeholders.
Total equity
Total equity reflected the downward trend evident in shareholders’ equity, declining from nearly 50,000 million USD to about 18,600 million USD, with a sharp fall in early 2024 and slight recovery afterward.
Total liabilities and equity
The total combination of liabilities and equity decreased steadily from around 129,000 million USD to approximately 96,900 million USD, demonstrating an overall shrinkage in the company’s balance sheet size during the period.
