- Current insurance and contractholder liabilities
- This item displayed moderate fluctuations, initially increasing from 3.25% in March 2020 to a peak of 5.02% in June 2023, followed by a decline to approximately 3.46% by December 2024. The trend suggests volatility with some upward pressure followed by correction towards prior levels.
- Pharmacy and other service costs payable
- A consistent upward trend is evident, starting at 6.98% in March 2020 and increasing steadily to 18.26% by December 2024. This sustained rise may indicate growing operational costs associated with pharmacy and related services.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable as a percentage of total liabilities and equity rose gradually from 3.61% to nearly 5.96% over the observed period, highlighting a gradual build-up in short-term obligations to suppliers or service providers.
- Accrued expenses and other liabilities
- After a slight dip early in the period, accrued expenses and other liabilities climbed from 4.9% in March 2020 to a higher range around 6% by late 2023 and remained in the 5.6% to 6.0% vicinity by the end of 2024, suggesting a stable but slightly increased expense accrual practice.
- Short-term debt
- The short-term debt ratio showed a considerable decline from early 2020 to mid-2021, falling as low as 0.27% in March 2021, followed by moderate fluctuations in the 1% to 3% range thereafter, indicating variability but overall lower reliance on short-term borrowing.
- Liabilities of businesses held for sale
- This category exhibited incomplete data and appeared in certain quarters with values decreasing from about 4.55% in early 2020 to roughly 1.55% by March 2024, signaling either divestiture or reduction of related liabilities.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities showed a general upward trend, increasing from approximately 26.1% in March 2020 to 37.19% by December 2024. This growth reflects an expanding portion of obligations due within one year in relation to total liabilities and equity.
- Non-current insurance and contractholder liabilities

- Other non-current liabilities
- Other non-current liabilities gradually decreased over the period, falling from nearly 2.92% in early 2020 to around 2.06% by December 2024, indicating a mild reduction in other long-term liabilities.

- These liabilities stayed relatively consistent, fluctuating narrowly around 5% throughout the period, indicating stable liabilities associated with separate accounts.
- Non-current liabilities

- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities remained relatively stable between approximately 68% and 73%, with a slight upward trend in the final two years reaching 73.54%, indicating a moderately increasing proportion of liabilities versus equity on the balance sheet.
- Shareholders’ equity
- Shareholders' equity held fairly steady near 30% for most of the period until early 2023, after which it declined to about 26% by December 2024. The reduction in equity proportion may signal buybacks, distributions, or other equity changes.
- Additional paid-in capital
- This component showed gradual growth from 18.46% to above 20% by 2024, indicating incremental increases in capital contributed by shareholders beyond par value.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- The accumulated comprehensive loss fluctuated with a general tendency towards increased losses, moving from around -0.99% to approximately -1.5%, suggesting growing unrealized losses impacting equity.

- Treasury stock, at cost
