The composition of liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibited several notable trends over the observed period, spanning from April 2021 to December 2025. Current liabilities generally increased as a percentage of total liabilities and equity, while the proportion of long-term debt fluctuated. Equity attributable to shareowners demonstrated an overall increasing trend, particularly towards the end of the period, while treasury stock represented a significant and consistently negative portion of equity.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities, as a percentage of the total, generally trended upward, beginning at 18.32% in April 2021 and reaching a peak of 25.01% in September 2022. While experiencing some fluctuation, they remained elevated, concluding at 20.30% in December 2025. This suggests a potential increase in short-term financing needs or a shift in the timing of payments to suppliers and other creditors.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, represented a substantial portion of the capital structure, consistently above 35%. It decreased from 44.64% in April 2021 to a low of 35.02% in September 2022, then increased to 42.14% in December 2022 before declining to 40.18% in December 2025. This indicates a dynamic approach to long-term financing, potentially influenced by interest rate environments and investment opportunities.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses showed a consistent upward trend from 12.14% in April 2021 to 22.42% in September 2024, before decreasing to 14.13% in December 2025. This increase could be attributed to increased operational activity or changes in payment terms with suppliers. The subsequent decline suggests a potential normalization of these balances.
Equity Composition
Equity attributable to shareowners demonstrated a general upward trend, increasing from 22.62% in April 2021 to 30.69% in December 2025. Reinvested earnings consistently formed the largest component of equity, generally remaining above 70%. Treasury stock consistently represented a significant deduction from equity, fluctuating between approximately -54% and -57%, indicating substantial share repurchase activity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss also represented a negative component, though less substantial than treasury stock.
Short-Term Debt Fluctuations
Current maturities of long-term debt exhibited significant volatility. Starting at 3.20% in April 2021, it decreased substantially to 0.37% in July 2021, then increased again to 2.13% in September 2022, before declining to 1.48% in December 2025. This suggests active management of debt maturities and refinancing activities.
Noncontrolling Interests
Equity attributable to noncontrolling interests remained relatively stable for most of the period, generally between 1.5% and 2.2%. However, it increased to 1.90% in September 2025 and 2.01% in December 2025, potentially indicating changes in ownership structures or consolidation of subsidiaries.

Overall, the liability structure appears to be actively managed, with shifts between current and long-term obligations. Equity demonstrated a positive trend, driven primarily by reinvested earnings, although offset by significant treasury stock holdings. These trends suggest a financially stable entity with a dynamic capital structure.
