The financial structure of the entity has undergone a fundamental shift between February 2018 and February 2024, moving from a predominantly equity-funded capital base to one heavily reliant on debt. Total liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity increased from 41.16% to 86.57% over the analyzed period, while total shareholders’ equity contracted from 58.84% to 13.43%.

Debt Accumulation and Leverage
A significant escalation in long-term leverage is observed, primarily driven by long-term debt excluding the current portion. This item rose from 17.97% in February 2018 to a peak of 62.85% in February 2023, before settling at 57.36% by February 2024. This trend indicates a massive expansion of the long-term debt load to sustain operations and liquidity. Short-term borrowings remained relatively low and volatile, though they spiked to 7.15% in May 2020 before returning to negligible levels by late 2022.
Equity Erosion and Capital Infusions
The most pronounced decline is seen in retained earnings, which collapsed from 56.37% in February 2018 to a negative position (accumulated deficit) starting in February 2023. By February 2024, retained earnings stood at -0.06%. To mitigate this erosion of equity, there was a steady increase in additional paid-in capital, which grew from 21.01% in February 2018 to 33.52% in February 2024, suggesting that equity issuances were utilized to offset operational losses and maintain a minimum capital cushion.
Operational Liability Trends
Customer deposits exhibited a cyclical pattern reflective of external demand shocks. These deposits decreased from a pre-pandemic range of 10-13% to a low of 3.19% in February 2021. A subsequent recovery is evident, with customer deposits returning to 13.35% by February 2024, signaling a restoration of forward-booking activity. Current liabilities overall remained more stable than long-term liabilities, fluctuating between 15% and 25% of the total balance sheet.
Solvency and Risk Profile
The progression of the common-size balance sheet indicates a heightened risk profile. The ratio of total liabilities to total assets has reached a critical threshold, with long-term liabilities now constituting 61.66% of the total funding. The substantial reduction in the equity buffer, combined with the shift toward long-term debt, suggests a capital structure that is significantly more leveraged than it was at the start of the analyzed period.
